Talk:Etruscan chariot

how do we know the chariot is Etruscan, not Umbrian? dab (&#5839;) 08:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Page retitle
Since this page is primarily concerned with a specific object known to archaeologists as the "Monteleone chariot", I propose moving this article's content to the page Monteleone chariot (currently a redirect to this page) and redirecting this page to that one until such time as a more general article on Etruscan chariots can be prepared. This should clarify and improve the article's intent and focus. Barring any objections, I'll redirect-and-move in a week's time (Friday, April 6). Best, -- Docether 15:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I think that the correct name is Monteleone chariot (or Etruscan Montelone chariot), but we have to remember that this is the unique Etruscan chariot ever found intact. The other Etruscan two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicles we can describe are the ones painted in frescos on the tomb walls. So the article about Etruscan chariots shall have to speak in most part about the Monteleone chariot.--Grifomaniacs 15:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I was thinking, too ... an article on "Etruscan chariot" might talk generally about the characteristics common to Etruscan chariots, with heavy reference to the one good surviving example. Then, the "Monteleone chariot" article can be re-focused to talk about the Monteleone chariot's history as an artifact, as well as the specific attributes of this object that make it unique to the general category of Etruscan chariots. -- Docether 17:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
