Description
The Etruscans: 9th-2nd Centuries BC (Elite) This study examines one of the early rivals to Ancient Rome, tracing the long-lived civilization of the Etruscans from 900-750 BC in northwest Italy. Through archaeological evidence, including warrior tombs, paintings, sculptures, and illustrations, the authors explore the complex history of this enigmatic people. The Etruscans were a sea-faring culture that traded with and competed against Greek and Phoenician peoples, as well as the Carthaginians. They also developed significant land-based power, particularly in the Classical period, expanding their influence north into the Po Valley and south to Latium. This book draws on these findings to shed new light on the Etruscan civilization. Fully illustrated throughout, this study provides a comprehensive overview of one of the early rivals to Ancient Rome, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient history.
