A glance into the life of the most important pre-Roman Italians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book, by an experienced French archaeologist, is essential for anyone seeking an understanding about the culture, both social and material, of the Etruscans as well as other inhabitants of Iron Age Italy. Here can be found the roots of Republican Roman culture. The author looks into just about every facet of the Etruscans' physical existence-from their physical attributes, lifespans, and diets to the place of women, religion, entertainment, feasts, literature, morality, and rural culture. He also includes a lengthy and useful chronology of the Etruscan People and of Etruria's involvement in Roman history. There are a number of good books on the Etruscans out there, but read this one to gain the best glance into their daily life and experiences availible to readers of the English language.
