The Etruscans: History of the Ancient Pre-Roman Civilization in Italy

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

At its peak, the Etruscan society of age-old Italy covered circa what's now Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio, and areas of what's now the Po Valley, Emilia-Romagna, south-eastern Lombardy, southern Veneto, and small parts of Campania.

The first proof of an Etruscan society might be traced back to around 900 BC.

This is the Iron Age Villanovan culture, which emerged from the former late Bronze Age Proto-Villanovan civilization in the exact same area and is considered the first stage of Etruscan civilization.

Etruscan society lasted till it was taken in by Roman culture. Assimilation started due to the Roman-- Etruscan Wars in the late fourth century BC; it heightened with the grant of Roman citizenship in ninety BC, and was finished in 27 BC, when the Etruscans' terrain was taken in into the freshly established Roman Empire.

In this guide, you will learn about these things and many other aspects of the Etruscan civilization.

Reviews for The Etruscans

[Javier Hershey · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is just one of the very best audio books I have listened to, which is the reason why I am taking a small second to publish a review about it. Simply listening in my truck, I enjoyed this particular audio book. There were so many points within this book that I did not know before. I am thankful I discovered it. It was definitely worth my time, especially because I listened to it while in my car to my job.
