The Etruscan civilisation was located in what is now the Tuscan region of Italy. Their civilization lasted from around 1200 B.C. until the 3rd century B.C. when the Romans began to dominated the region. (Bonfante 50-52) While the Greeks influenced the Etruscan civilization they managed to retain a unique culture and way of life. (Bonfante 97) The Romans destroyed most Etruscan documents and as consequence of that archaeology must be relied on to unearth many of their secrets. (Nardo 51) The facts that can be found about the Etruscans show them to be a vibrant and artistic culture.



Etruscan Rise 12th to 7th Century B.C.  Etruscan Fall 7th to 3rd Century B.C.
