What???
Rome's relationship with the Etruscans was complex and influential, as the Etruscans were a dominant civilization in Italy before the rise of Rome. They significantly impacted Roman culture, politics, and architecture, with early Roman kings, such as Tarquin the Proud, being of Etruscan descent. Over time, Rome would conquer Etruscan city-states, assimilating much of their culture while gradually diminishing their power. This relationship laid the groundwork for Rome's development as a major Mediterranean power.
