Gravisca (Cravsca in Etruscan and Graviscae Latin[1]) was the port of the Etruscan city of Tarquinii, situated 8 km west of the city center.[2][3]
The Etruscan settlement, occupied ca. sixth to third centuries BC, had four principal occupational phases from ca. 600 to 250 B.C.[4] It was superseded by the establishment of a colonia of Roman citizenship at the site in 181 BC.[5] The port functioned as an emporion and there is ample evidence for merchants and perhaps Greek artisans based at the site.[6] There was a Greek quarter at the city.[7] The cults of numerous Greek gods, including Aphrodite, Hera,[8] Demeter, and Apollo, are attested.
The port is mentioned by name in book 10, line 23 of the Aeneid.[9]
