Tarquinia (300s and 400s BC) is a bit younger than Cerveteri. It is also a better known necropolis because of the painted burial chambers. However it has none of the atmosphere - being more akin to a collection of shallow mine shafts or air raid shelters in a field!! Still, the burial chamber decorations are fascinating.
