From Vulci. Vulci was an Etruscan city near Montalto di Castro, Italy. A slow but marked decline began in 280 BCE with the defeat of Vulci by Rome. The Etruscans had another god iconographically corresponding to Janus: Culśanś, although this identification is not secure. This was probably the top of a herm.
