		While anatomical models of human organs often lack stylistic characteristics that could support dating, C.'s familiarity with Etruscan and Italic types allows her to suggest the most precise dating/parallels possible.
		Three fragmentary vases were inscribed to Menrva; they range from late 6th-century bucchero to a 3rd-century amphora.
		The votive terracottas are very battered, but C.'s knowledge of the field is so masterful that her identifications, comparanda and stylistic dating of sculptural types are highly accurate.

	Menerva on an Etruscan mirror in the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, Germany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Menrva is depicted as Hercle's companion, which is obvious because she stands next to or behind Hercle, but also, because both in Greek mythology as in Greek and Etruscan art, she is always depicted as Hercle's companion and protectress.
		But the young man here is in full armor, whereas Laran is mostly depicted as a naked young man. There is only one known scene of Laran depicted in armor, on a mirror from Populonia (with the inscriptions: Laran, Celsclan).
		Next to this symmetry, there is a symmetry of opposite figures, namely Menrva and Turan (both female and divine) on one hand and Hercle and the young man (both male, warriors and probably both originally mortal) on the other hand.

	Etrusker-AG
		In der älteren ist die Vokalisierung vollständig durchgeführt und das Zusammenstoßen zweier Konsonanten fast ohne Ausnahme vermieden 2.
		Durch Abwerfen der vokalischen konsonantischen Endungen und durch Abschwächen oder Ausstoßen der Vokale ward dies weiche und klangvolle Idiom allmählich in eine unerträglich harte und rauhe Sprache verwandelt 3; so machte man zum Beispiel ramθa aus ramuθaf, Tarchnaf aus Tarquinius, Menrva aus Minerva, Menle, Pultuke, Elchsentre aus Menelaos, Polydeukes, Alexandros.
		Wie dumpf und rauh die Aussprache war, zeigt am deutlichsten, daß o und u, b und p, c und g, d und t den Etruskern schon in sehr früher Zeit zusammenfielen.

		Here the deck is definitely stacked in favor of Turan (Aphrodite) who dominates the center in full frontal nudity, with her attendant Lasa hovering above, and a pudgy Eros playing with a dove below.
		The fully dressed Uni (Hera) and Menrva (Athena) do not stand a chance against this goddess and her entourage.
		Another engraved and fully inscribed mirror (no. 6) shows embracing lovers (Mexio and Fasia) flanked by a nude woman and a handmaid labeled Acila (= ancilla).
