Book Description:
|
The Etruscans were the most important—and remarkable—of the peoples who inhabited early Italy. But when the Romans gained supremacy, the distinctive Etruscan culture gradually disappeared. This masterly re-creation of the lives of a now-forgotten people lifts the veil from every aspect of their civilization—origins, language, religion, and art.
