“Sharing wives is an established Etruscan custom,” wrote the Greek historian Theopompos of Chios in the fourth century B.C. “Etruscan women take particular care of their bodies and exercise often. It is not a disgrace for them to be seen naked. Further, they dine not with their own husbands, but with any men who happen to be present.”

He added that Etruscan women “are also expert drinkers and are very good looking.”

Be sure to set your time machine so that it puts you in Fiesole, a town next to Florence. The Etruscans founded Fiesole, and I have been told that their descendants are still very attractive.
