Early in Rome's history, the city was conquered by the Etruscans, the most notable civilization in Italy before Rome's rise to power.

Their distant past is a mystery, because their language has no relationship to any other group of languages. Their Italian homeland, Etruria, consisted of a loose confederation of city-states. They were noted for their metalworking and their fine pottery. The Etru ...
