In ancient geography Etrurln was s

the Tiber and west of the Apennlne
mountains, and Including the valley
of the Arna Modern Tuscany and the
northern half of the province of Rome
cover about the same territory today.
Etruria proper contained a confedera
tion of twelve cities, each of which
was Independent. The people of
Etruria, called Etruscans, were the
most advanced of any in Italy before
the rise of Rome. They bad a highly
developed political organization. They
were at the height of their power
about 500 B. C., and were the allies
of Carthage. With the rise of Rome
came a struggle In whiah the Etrus
cans were worsted, becoming virtual
