The Etruscans, whose culture flourished in Italy from the late eighth century B.C.E. to the first century B.C.E, produced some of the most sumptuous bronze and silver mirrors found in the ancient Mediterranean. Mirrors with relief decorations on their reverse sides are extremely rare and uniquely Etruscan. Their designs inform us about artistic styles and supplement our understanding of Etruscan culture and taste. The subjects illustrated on the mirrors give important insights into Etruscan mythology, beliefs, and cultural values, filling the vacuum left by the loss of most of their literary record.

ABSTRACT: A significant number of bronze mirrors produced by the Etruscans are engraved on their nonreflecting sides, often with scenes illustrating Greek myths. Numerous Hellenistic mirrors present the viewer with a four-figure scene of gods and heroes who can be identified either by Etruscan inscriptions or by their attributes. The Dioskouroi, or Castor and Polydeuces, became popular mythological characters in Etruria and their presence amid the figures in four-figure mirror compositions dating from the fourth and third centuries B.C. is particularly extensive. This study assembles a catalogue of 123 four-figure Dioskouroi conversation mirrors and analyzes their types and iconographical predecessors in an attempt to identify the figures and their meaning. It examines the iconographical tradition associated with the ancient Greek cult of the Dioskouroi, which was adopted by the Etruscans, using literary and archaeological evidence. It traces the cult from its birthplace in Sparta to the Greek colonists of Magna Graecia and eventually to the native Etruscans. The extent to which the Dioskouroi were meaningful to the Etruscans as a decorative motif for bronze mirrors is addressed within the context of the use of these objects. The Judgment of Paris, a popular fourth-century scene on Etruscan mirrors, will be presented as a possible prototype for the four-figure Dioskouroi conversation mirror composition. Lastly, Adobe Photoshop's layering capabilities are employed to adduce evidence supporting the circulation of artists' pattern books illustrating Greek myths among Etruscan mirror workshops.

This is the first book in which special atten-tion is paid to the Etruscan interpretation of Greek mythical representations on Etruscan bronze mirrors. The book focuses on representations with inscriptions (c. 480-250 B.C.). These epigraphic scenes raise many questions. Did the engravers and patrons understand Greek myths? Were the engravers inspired by visual, oral or literary sources or by a combination thereof? What was their modus operandi? In which art forms can visual precedents be found? Introductory chapters shed light on the status of Etruscan mirrors, their owners, givers and recipients; furthermore production centres, distribution, the influence of Attic and South Italian red figure vases and the shifting interest in themes are discussed. More than one hundred mirror-representa-tions are analysed in chronological order, according to general themes: lovewrestling, abduction, immortality, healing, purification, divination, rescue, birth, rebirth, adoption, rejuvenation, dilemma, contest, victory, the relationship between mother and sons, couples, toilet, music and suicide.

This fascicle of the Corpus Speculorum Etruscorum, which has been long in the making, is a collaborative effort between colleagues and friends: Evelyn Bell and Helen Nagy. Evelyn Bell contributed the catalogue entries on the mirrors in the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Frank V. de Bellis Collection at San Francisco State University. Helen Nagy was responsible for the catalogue entries on the mirrors at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the J. Paul Getty Museum; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Art Museum at the University of California, Santa Barbara; and the Seattle Art Museum. Analysis of the chemical composition of the mirrors is an invaluable tool to help scholars determine where the mirrors were manufactured and whether or not they are Etruscan, Roman, or even authentic works of art. Six of the mirrors in Berkeley were analyzed, while the remaining twelve were unfortunately either too fragile or corroded to allow for sampling. The mirrors in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Seattle Art Museum were tested, the one at San Francisco State University was not. Jesse Obert, a scholar and doctoral candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, has ably summarized the results of these analyses.
