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 sixth to third centuries B.C., had four principal occupational phases from ca. 600 to 250 B.C.[3] It was superseded by the establishment of a colonia of Roman citizenship at the site in 181 BC.[4] The port functioned as an emporion and there is ample evidence for merchants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