This class will survey
the geography, chronology, mystery and the origins of the Etruscans.
We will explore what we can learn about Etruscan history and society
from art and archaeology and about Etruscan influence in Rome.
We will investigate whether the Etruscans were a classical civilization;
how they were different from their contemporaries, the Phoenicians,
Greeks, and Romans; and why?
