Etruscan mirror with gods and goddesses

This bronze mirror dates to sometime 300-270 B.C. and the name of the gods are written on the border (no, the photo isn't flipped, Etruscans wrote backwards - or at least as we see it, after all it was normal for them). They are (from left to right): Aplu, Menrva, Turan and Laran. The gods are perhaps not all that unfamiliar though - Aplu is the Etruscan Apollo, Menrva would turn into the Roman goddess Minerva, Turan was a goddess identified with the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus and Laran was the god of war, the Etruscan equivalent of Mars. However, in Etruscan art Laran is depicted as a young man, and he was considered the consort of Turan.
