Etruria, 3rd Century B.C.
|Italy|, |Etruria,| |3rd| |Century| |B.C.|, Etruria was a region of Central Italy that covered part of what now are Tuscany, Latium, and Umbria. The ancient people of Etruria were the Etruscans. Etruscan kings ruled Rome until 509 B.C. when King Lucius Tarquinius Superbus was removed and the Roman Republic was established. Etruscan civilization was responsible for much of the Greek culture imported into early Rome, including the twelve Olympian gods, the growing of olives and grapes, the Latin alphabet (adapted from the Greek), and architecture like the arch, sewerage and drainage systems.
