Etruscan representations of Neptune are rare but significant. The oldest may be a fourth-century BC carved [[carnelian]] [[Scarab (artifact)|scarab]] from [[Vulci]] of Nethuns kicking a rock and creating a spring (Paris: Bibliothèque Nationale, [[Cabinet des Medailles]]. Another Etruscan artifact (''Nethunus'', from the Luynes collection) depicts the god causing a horse to spring from the earth with a blow of his trident.<ref>[[Jacques Heurgon]], in Bloch 1981 p. 352.</ref>

A late-fourth-century bronze mirror in the [[Vatican Museums]] (Museo Gregoriano Etrusco: C.S.E. Vaticano 1.5a) depicts Neptune with [[Amymone]] (daughter of [[Danaus]]), whom he saves from assault by a satyr and teaches the art of creating springs. On a bronze mirror from Tuscania dated to 350 BC, also in the Vatican Museums (Museo Gregoriano Etrusco E. S. 1. 76), Nethuns is talking to Usil and Thesan. He holds a double-ended trident, suggesting that he might be able wield lightning bolts.<ref>N.T. De Grummond 2006 p. 145.</ref>
