672 pages, illustrated in colour and black-white throughout. 2001. The Etruscans have been one of the enigmas of history. A cultured, artistic, socially adept, prosperous and pleasure-loving people, they dominated Central Italy for 800 years until, eclipsed by the power of Rome, their civilization was absorbed and their identity obliterated. Some 20 chapters provide the very latest knowledge on topics as diverse as religious beliefs, city building and the ideology of the town, the Etruscans’ language, slavery and trade.
