Clusius


Explanation:
Cluver, II. p567; Cramer, I. p219. Müller (Etrusk. einl. 2, 12) considers the ancient name of the city, Camars, to be a proof that the Camertes of Umbria had once occupied it. Cluver thinks that these Camertes, the original inhabitants of Camars, were driven across the Tiber by the Tyrrhene-Pelasgi, and retained their ancient name in their new settlement; and that the Pelasgi gave the city the name of Clusium, from Clusius, son of Tyrrhenus the Lydian, as Servius states (ad Aen. X.167), who however leaves its origin doubtful between Clusius and Telemachus

According to the Latin historian Servius, Chiusi is one of the oldest Etruscan cities. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, the city was founded either by the hero Clusius (son of Tyrrhenus, the Lydian king who led the original migration to Etruria) or by Thelemacus, son of Ulysses. This theory is probably a late one based on the Latin name for Chiusi, Clusium, that corresponds to the Etruscan name Clevsin and comes to us in inscriptions from the IV century B.C.. The Roman historian Livy calls the city Chamars but offers no explanation as to the origin of the name.
