'Most of what is known about the Etruscans derives from archaeology as the few accounts passed down by Roman historians tend to be hostile, portraying them as gluttonous and lecherous.'
Sounds like they would make a great tail gate party.

If you've got the Romans portraying you as “gluttonous and lecherous”, you must be a real party animal.
To: BGHater
Obviously this was written ages before romans themselves became gluttonous and lecherous.

Isn’t modern Tuscany part of what the Romans called “Cisalpine Gaul”? If I’m right, that would sorta indicate that the Gauls from over the alpines displaced the bronze age inhabitants.
