WHAT DOES ETRURIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Etruria

Etruria —usually referred to in Greek and Latin source texts as Tyrrhenia —was a region of Central Italy, located in an area that covered part of what now are Tuscany, Lazio, and Umbria. A particularly noteworthy work dealing with Etruscan locations is D. H. Lawrence's Sketches of Etruscan Places and other Italian essays. The ancient people of Etruria are labelled Etruscans, and their complex culture was centered on numerous city-states that rose during the Villanovan period in the ninth century BC and were very powerful during the Orientalizing and Archaic periods. The Etruscans were a dominant culture in Italy by 650 BC, surpassing other ancient Italic peoples such as the Ligures, and their influence may be seen beyond Etruria's confines in the Po River Valley and Latium, as well as in Campania and through their contact with the Greek colonies in Southern Italy. Indeed, at some Etruscan tombs, such as those of the Tumulus di Montefortini at Comeana in Tuscany, physical evidence of trade has been found in the form of grave goods—fine faience ware cups are particularly notable examples.
