{"id":809,"count":2,"description":"<h3>A Mysterious Civilization<\/h3>\r\nThe <strong>Etruscans<\/strong> were a people who inhabited central Italy, particularly Tuscany, before the Romans took control of their city-states. Their civilization, still largely unknown and mysterious, extended from northern Emilia-Romagna, including Bologna, down to Campania near Naples. Their peak, between the 8th and 5th centuries BCE, was marked by thriving trade with the Greeks and Celts, as well as a refined culture. Their religion, centered on divination (such as reading entrails), and their language, which remains poorly deciphered, add to their mystery.\r\n<h3>Artistic Heritage and Tourist Visits<\/h3>\r\nTheir level of development is revealed in the impressive necropolis-cities of Etruria \u2014 a historical region north of Rome \u2014 such as <strong>Cerveteri<\/strong> and <strong>Tarquinia<\/strong>, UNESCO-listed sites adorned with frescoes depicting banquets and dances.\r\nTheir exceptionally fine gold jewelry rivals modern goldsmithing, while their terracotta sarcophagi, like the famous <strong>Sarcophagus of the Spouses<\/strong>, bear witness to their artistic talent.\r\nIn its early days, Rome was strongly influenced by the Etruscans, particularly through the city of <strong>Veii<\/strong>, whose kings such as <strong>Tarquin the Elder<\/strong> left their mark on its history.\r\nThe region also included other peoples, such as the <strong>Latins<\/strong> and the <strong>Sabines<\/strong>, who coexisted with Rome and contributed to its rise.\r\nTo explore this civilization, visit the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome, the necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, or many other sites and museums across the region.","link":"https:\/\/www.bestofrome.fr\/en\/tag\/etruscans-en\/","name":"Etruscans","slug":"etruscans-en","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.4 -
