A community-maintained tertiary reference on the Pyrgi Tablets, directly examined. Its strength is a precise date, a precise discovery year and location, and a named dedicating ruler; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than an Etruscology monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
