Cleruchy in etruscans

Abstract

The author examines the inscription from Montepulciano, outskirts of Clusium (today Chiusi) (cippus Bucellius), where the Greek Dorian term was mentioned, which means a military colonist. Taking in consideration previous researches, the author tries to prove prescription of cippus Bucellius as a boundary; explain earlier date of the inscription (earlier 3rd, not 2nd centuries BC); represent own explanation of discussion terms, namely, ser is considered as reduction of the praenomen servei; hilar is determined as a plot of land; claruχieś is seen as a genitive case of term which means a military colonist-mercenary, created like the personal Etruscan names.
