Description
From around 900 to 400 BC, the Etruscans were the most innovative, powerful, wealthy, and creative people in Italy.
Their archaeological record is both substantial and fascinating, including tomb paintings, sculpture, jewellery, and art.
In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Smith explores Etruscan history, culture, language, and customs.
Examining the controversial debates about their origins, he explores how they once lived, placing this within the geographical, economic, and political context of the time.
