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.
