Etruscan Civilization: A
Cultural History Art
by Sybille Haynes
Hardcover, 490 pages
Published by J Paul Getty Museum Pubn
Publication date: Dec 2000
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. In addition, the Etruscans are
contrasted to the Greeks, whom they often emulated, and to the Romans,
who at once admired and disdained them. The result is a compelling and
complete picture of a people and a culture.

Etruscan (Reading the Past,
Vol 8)
by Larissa Bonfante
Paperback, 62 pages
Published by Univ. California Press
Publication date: Oct 1990
Before the rise of Rome, the Etruscans dominated central Italy
commercially and culturally. Significantly, it was the Etruscans who
passed the alphabet on to the Romans. But in the first century B.C.,
when they had become Roman citizens and begun to speak Latin, their
own language died out. Being of non-Indo-European origin, Etruscan is
extremely difficult to interpret, and the difficulty is increased by
the fact that no Etruscan literature survives. A certain amount has,
however, been reconstructed from inscriptions. Here Dr. Bonfante sets
out the rudiments of pronunciation and grammar as they are understood
so far. Analyzing inscriptions on a wide variety of objects, including
mirrors and gems, vases, sarcophagi and coins, she shows what these
fragmentary writings contribute to our knowledge of this still largely
mysterious people. |

The
Etruscan Cities and Rome

Paperback, 320 pages
Published by John Hopkins Univ Pr
Publication date: Dec 1998
The
Etruscan Cities and Rome, H. H. Scullard examines the cities of
Etruria, the dominant power on the Italian peninsula just prior to the
ascendancy of Rome. Though eventually conquered by the Romans, the
Etruscans exerted enormous influence on Roman political and social
institutions. Scullard describes the mysterious origins of these
people, their years of conquest and expansion, and their encounters
with Greeks, Romans, Celts, and others. Generously illustrated, the
book admirably captures... |
