the ancient convention.123
There are other instances of Greek potters turning
their focus to the Etruscan market, however;124
and the custom of revealing sportsmen wearing garments,
Instead of appearing completely naked, is not surprising in Etruria. Although athletes do regularly appear
naked, or infibulated, in Etruscan art of the sixth and
fifth centuries B.C. (in everyday life they maybe continued to wear a perizoma), there are a number of
sixth- and fifth century instances of reliefs and wall
paintings, such as a group from Chiusi, from the
Tomba Poggio al Moro. Three dimensional examples
are rarer: in sculpture, the nude Greek kouros generally served as model.125

nudity was never fully accepted) male nakedness
