Best Answer

The Romans defeated and destroyed the neighboring Etruscan city of Veii in 396 BC. The Gauls did not actually capture Rome in that they sacked it and left after being paid a ransom. This event is called the Gallic Sack.

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.

What language was spoken before Latin?

If you mean in Italy, many languages were spoken before Latin became dominant. Etruscan was a major language - it is apparently unrelated to any other, whereas many other pre-Latin languages were related to each other. They include Oscan, Umbrian, Marsian and Marrucinian, but there were many more. Latin absorbed a few words of Etruscan and the Romans wrote dictionaries preserving the ancient Etruscan language. As a comparison here are a few words in some of these languages: Latin ................Oscan .....................Etruscan ................ English Arae ..................Aasas .......................sacni .....................altars Hae ....................ekask .......................ica ........................these filia .....................fuutrei .....................sech ......................daughter
