Reply to comment by Averla93 in Discovery of bronzes rewrites Italy’s Etruscan-Roman history by VoloNoscere

I'm no historian, but I was under the impression that the Etruscan culture died when they were sacked by rome?

There were a lot of Etruscan cities, just a few were destroyed by the Romans, Veium and Volsinii (Orvieto) come to mind, most were integrated as "allies" and then gradually given Roman citizenship until there was total integration, this discovery might move this integration a few centuries later.
