Pretty much all the Kings of Rome were Etruscans.

Wasn’t the Republic model that Rome adopted created to ensure that nothing like the Etruscan Kings could ever rise up among them again?

Well, at least until they got around to reinventing the king thing via emperors and such.

I like the King of Rome who invited their allies over for a party, and then stole all their women.
