Document Summary
Roman timeline: regal era (down to 509 bc) The people voted for officials, made laws, etc. Means that rome is controlled by the emperor. Etruscan sport and spectacle: etruscan relationship to rome (800-500) Means that the city was owned by the public, hence the term republic: republic (509 bc 27 bc) Are the best remains they would bury their kings in the ground, on the sides. We have no writings that we can decipher from their villages. Relying on non-literary evidence to try and piece this culture together of hills. Found about 250 of them but 20 of these tombs are fairly well preserved. In tombs you would find bronze, iron, pottery, artwork, etc. Most influential neighbor and most advanced civilization were. Problem is that their tombs are covered in scenes that are copied directly off of. Scenes of people dining in the exactly same way that greeks did.
