Cervet'ri

Cervet'ri, a village 19 miles WNW. of Rome, on the site of the great Etrurian city, Care (see ETRURIA). Conquered and degraded by the Romans in 353 B.C., it experienced but a brief renewal of prosperity under the empire as a watering-place (the warm Bagni del Sasso, still used), and finally fell into decay in the 13th century. Many Etruscan remains have been found near by.
