Before the small village of Rome became “Rome” with a capital R (to paraphrase D.H. Lawrence), a brilliant civilization once controlled almost the entire peninsula we now call Italy. This was the Etruscan civilization, a vanished culture whose achievements set the stage not only for the development of ancient Roman art and culture but for the Italian Renaissance as well.
Though you may not have heard of them, the Etruscans were the first "superpower" of the Western Mediterranean who, alongside the Greeks, developed the earliest true cities in Europe. They were so successful, in fact, that the most important cities in modern Tuscany (Florence, Pisa, and Siena to name a few) were first established by the Etruscans and have been continuously inhabited since then.
Yet the labels ‘mysterious’ or ‘enigmatic’ are often attached to the Etruscans since none of their own histories or literature survives. This is particularly ironic as it was the Etruscans who were responsible for teaching the Romans the alphabet and for spreading literacy throughout the Italian peninsula.
Around 800 BC, Etruscans settle in Etruria, north of the Palatine.
Historians believe first that they came from Lydia in Asia Minor.
In Lydia they did not have enough food.
They ate only on the even numbered days.
The famine continued so one-half the people left.
they were led by the king's son, Tarquis.
Now, it is generally thought that their civilization developed in Italy from the Villanovan culture
They built cities high on hilltops, each surrounded by a thick wall.
They were known as "the people from the sea."
As pirates they were feared and envied.
As traders they were admired and respected.
By 600 BC, they dominated all of northern Italy.
That included the Latin village on Palatine hill.
