The Romans, like other Italic peoples, adopted and adapted the Cumaean version of the western Greek alphabet. Cumae was a Greek city near Naples, in southern Italy, about 200 km (125 miles) south of Rome. The Romans had their own temples since the very early days. At one point they adopted the architectural styles of the Greeks.

It has been claimed that the Cloaca Maxima, Rome's first sewer was built by the Etruscans. However, the fashionable theory that the Etruscans ruled Rome in the 6th century BC and were responsible for Rome's urban development is just that; a theory. It has been challenged. Its evidence base is flimsy and it is based on unproven assumptions. Recent archaeological evidence suggests a different picture.
