Etruria

Etruria was an ancient country in central Italy, located in an area that covered part of what now are Tuscany, Latium and Umbria.

It is eminently identified as the territory of Etruscans, and it was one of the most important countries before falling to Rome in the third century B.C..


Etruria is also a placename in England, see: Etruria, Staffordshire[?].
