Etruscan Ruins
It isn't known where the Etruscans came from, but the character of their art and many distinctive features of their religion make it clear that the original Etruscans were from a region in Asia Minor. During the Iron Age (1000 to 1 B.C.), urban civilization spread throughout Etruria - Tarquinia was probably the oldest city and is the most famous. The other centers were Caere (Cerveteri), Vulci, and Veii (Veio).
When they arrived, they brought a high level of a Greek-like culture with them. Like the Greeks, the Etruscans lived in fortified cities. The Etruscan Civilization, often overshadowed by the successes of its famous neighbor Rome, controlled at its height large tracts of land in present day Italy. The core homeland of this grand civilization was an area which stretched from the Arno River in the North to the Tiber River towards the center of the Italian peninsula in the South. The Etruscans were an agrarian people, but they also used military means to dominate the region.
The people of this land were the bearers of an extremely powerful civilization which thrived for many years both preceding and during the years of the Roman Republic. During this time there were many active civilizations in the Mediterranean waters surrounding Italy, and the Etruscans were known to have carried on widespread trade throughout the Mediterranean basin, primarily with Greece and North Africa.
At the height of their power (c. 500 B.C.), the Etruscans dominated Italy from the Po river in the north to central Campania. These people rose to prosperity and power, and then disappeared, leaving behind many unanswered questions concerning their origin and their culture. For their Greek contemporaries and Roman successors, the Etruscans were clearly a different ethnic group.
There are many Etruscan cities to be visited in Tuscany. A very pleasant day outing; driven through the Tuscany / Umbria region where one can admire the surrounding landscape that are mentioned in many books.
