My edition was revised in 2003 and new pictures added in 2003 and 2004.

Dr. Macnamara takes the Arts of the Etruscans and shows they incorporated the ideas of other peoples, into their own ways.
The Etruscans created lucrative sea-trade with Mediteranean peoples, reaching a height of influence in the sixth century BC. Their city-states suffered serious military defeats at the hands of the Greeks, and then were caught between rising Rome and Gaul raiders from the North.
