How were the Romans influenced by Etruscan engineering?
It is not really known because Etruscan influence occurred very early in Roman history and there are very little archaeological remains from that period. Very little has survived due to both the early age and because ancient Rome was continuously being redeveloped in her 1,200 years of history. It is thought that the Etrucans developed the barrel arch, the simplest type of arch. The Romans then developed the vaulted arch which is more complex. It is likely that some of the archaic (early) Roman temples might have been built in the Tuscan (Etruscan) architectural order. However, if so, they did not survive and this order was soon abandoned in favour of the Greek architectural orders because it was seen as too simple and rustic. The theory that the Etruscans conquered Rome in the 6th century BC, were responsible for Rome's earliest urbanisation and built the Cloaca Maxima (a sewer) and the large temple of Jupiter Otpimus Maximus on the Capitoline hill is just that, a theory. Its evidence base if flimsy and it is based on unproven assumptions. It has been challenged. Recent archaeological evidence in Latium (land of the Latins) suggests a different picture.

People that mainly influence the Romans?
Roman society is said to have been influenced by two cultures, the Greeks and the Etruscans.

The Greek influence came about as a result of Roman expansion.
How were the Romans influenced by the Etruscans?

The Romans did not write much about Etruscan influence.
