Musarna is an Etruscan settlement located approximately 10 km west of Viterbo, Italy.[1] The site was discovered in 1849 and has been the site of excavations carried out by the École française de Rome since 1983.[2]

During the Hellenistic period the settlement was surrounded by a fortification wall.[3]

The third century BC stone sarcophagus of Larth Thvetlie, son of Arnth, is housed in the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.[4][5]
