| | As a result, the Etruscans never achieved a true national unity, although individual cities sent out colonies to neighboring regions and often entered into diplomatic alliances not only with each other but also with foreign states. | | | The ancient Greek historian Herodotus maintained that the Etruscans came from Lydia, an ancient country in western Asia Minor. | | | A dissenting opinion was registered by another ancient Greek historian of the Augustan period, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who held that the Etruscans were an indigenous Italian race. |

| | The Etruscan cities, like their Greek counterparts, looked towards the sea. | | | Therefore the archaeological evidence does not favour the assumption of any large-scale immigration from the sea--only of trade. | | | It seems that from the beginning Etruscan art was a product of the Italian peninsula--at least so far no trace of it has come to light in any part of the world other than Italy, except such specimens as were exported from Etruria. |

| | The Etruscan people as we know them are very likely the result of a gradual fusion of native and immigrant populations and people of the north. | | | The Etruscan emerged as a people with a culture related to but distinct from those of other Italic peoples and the civilizations of Greece and the Orient. | | | Even though they controlled northern and central Italy from such strongholds as Tarquinia, Cerverti, and Vulci, they never united to form a nation or kingdom. |

| | Etruscan Civilization -- A Cultural History -- Sybille Haynes |
| | This comprehensive survey of Etruscan civilization—from its origin in the Villanovan Iron Age in the ninth century B.C. to its absorption by Rome in the first century B.C.—combines well-known aspects of the Etruscan world with new discoveries and fresh insights into the role of women in Etruscan society. | | | Heavily illustrated with ancient Etruscan art and cultural objects, the text is organized both chronologically and thematically, interweaving archaeological evidence, analysis of social structure, descriptions of trade and burial customs, and an examination of pottery and works of art. | | | In addition, the Etruscans are contrasted to the Greeks, whom they often emulated, and to the Romans, who at once admired and disdained them. |

| | Italian Last Minute - Lazio tour: in the heart of Etruscan civilization |
| | About 2600 years ago, here, in the red of tufa and the green of Latium forests it was flourishing a civilization that would leave a deep sign in the Mediterranean history and in modern fantasy, in fact historians wanted to turn it into the nth historical mistery. | | | It collects a rich repertory of Etruscan materials coming from the necropolis excavations: among them some valuable Etruscan sarcophagus and pieces that may be dated between the Villanovian and the Roman periods and document the evolution of Greek and Etruscan vase painting in its various forms. | | | Close to the hill on which the Cathedral raises you may see the rests of the first settlement, which was destroyed by the Romans in 310 B.C. during their conquest of Tuscia. |
