ETRURIA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_civilization

Etruscan civilization is the modern English name given to a civilization of ancient Italy in an area corresponding roughly to Tuscany, whom the ancient Romans called Etrusci or Tusci.[1] Their Roman name is the origin of the names of Tuscany, their heartland, and Etruria, their wider region.

  • The Etruscans were basically the Italian equivalent to the Minoans- they were centuries more advanced than Roma yet lacked a monolithic culture, a unified state. such a shame i wonder how thier language would be and how would they have affected history and the future. just imagine, the Etruscans kicking Mussolini 's ass in ww2!

  • @pamle1 and you are right! Women status was in fact equal to men...
