The Etruscans, preceded the ancient Romans in creating settlements on the Italian peninsula. This was prior to 700 BC.
What skill did the Etruscans introduce that later helped the Romans use their water supply more effectively?
Some historians have claimed the the Etruscans were a superior civilisation in the 6th and 5th centuries BC and they they conquered Rome during this period. It was also claimed that they had the engineering skills required to build the Cloaca Maxima, Rome's first sewer. The Etruscans were known for great agricultural irrigation and drainage works. However, this theory has been challenged. Recent archaeological finds have shown that the early Latins also had mastered the skills for irrigation and drainage by this time. More generally, the finds have also challenged the notion that the Etruscans conquered Rome. Aside the above, the Romans invented the aqueducts to bring water from the nearby mountains to the city. The first one was the Aqua Appia, which was built in 312 BC. This was long after the period of the alleged Etruscan domination. The aqueduct was a purely Roman invention. The use of the arch for the bridgework that supported the water conduits of some aqueducts and for other architectural structures was also a Roman development.

Rome grew at the expense of the Etruscans by absorbing their culture and displacing them.

As their power grew they edged out other northern people, but with the emergence of Rome their civilization waned. It can be said that what Rome created was because of the Etruscans and by using the art, government, trading foundations they were able to build a growing Empire.

Nothing really, it was there long before the Romans ever came to Britain.
What values were retained from the Etruscans and Roman republic roots?
The Etruscans had a thriving civilization long before the city state of Rome began to expand in Italy and gain power. The Etruscans had engineering skills that were passed on to Rome. The ancient Romans improved the Etruscan skills in engineering. But as an example of pre Roman engineering, the Etruscan engineers knew how to build draining tunnels to make use of the overflowing lake water and irrigate their crop fields. The practice of slavery was part of Etruscan society and this also became a way of life for ancient Romans. The Etruscans were skilled at mining, and knew how to use iron ore to make weapons, produce coinage and to trade their earth ores to other peoples for profit. These skills and methods were passed on to the ancient Romans who used them once they had defeated the rule of Etruscan kings.

AnswerThis depends on what time period is being referred to.Hannibal a great military leader from Carthage in North Africa led a force over the Italian Alps into Italy in 218 BC.

The two accounts confirm each other including the names of the leaders of the Britons. Livy's account is in Book 5 of his history.
