Etruscan civilisation
The Etruscans formed a federation of city-states in Etruria, roughly modern Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Lazio, with a shared language and culture. From the late 4th century BC they were gradually conquered by Rome. By 27 BC all Etruscan land was part of the Roman Empire.
