The Etruscans were skilled builders and farmers. They may have taught these skills to the Romans. Under the Etruscan rule the Romans learned how to build aqueducts. They also learned how to make better weapons and ships.

The Romans and Etruscans had distinct approaches to governance. The Etruscans were known for their monarchy, with a king holding centralized power, often supported by a council of nobles. In contrast, the Romans established a republic around 509 BCE, emphasizing a system of checks and balances with elected officials and representative governance. This shift allowed for broader citizen participation in decision-making, contrasting with the more autocratic rule of the Etruscans.
I personally think that it was a negative rule, because the Etruscans were mean and nasty and didn't give the Romans much freedom at all. You can think of it like when you get grounded, you aren't allowed to do much of anything. It's kind of like that, but with the Romans. :)
It is to be supposed to be the Etruscans. However: 1) it is not a definitely established fact that they came from Lydia in western Turkey. 2) the fashionable theory that the Etruscans conquered Rome has now been challenged. Its evidence base is flimsy and it relies on unproven assumptions. More recent archaeological evidence suggests a different picture. Moreover, the Roman tradition does not say that there was an Etruscan conquest or that there was a period of rule by Etruscan kings. What they say is that the Romans elected a half Etruscan and half Greek as their 5th king following the due process. It was normal for the Romans to elect a foreign king, they had done it before. The historians who argue that Rome was conquered by the Etruscans say that the Romans covered the invasion up. This is most highly implausible. These historians also rely heavily on the assumption that the Etruscans were a superior civilisation and the Romans were backwards. Recent archaeology has shown that the Latins had a flourishing aristocracy and great wealth even before the supposed before supposed conquest, that they were involved in long distance trade and that they under the influence of the Greeks from Cumae (near Naples) as well as the Etruscans. These historians also say that the Etruscans were good engineers and the Romans were not. It has now been shown that the Latins, like the Etruscans, also had well engineered irrigation systems. An important innovation in house building was the tiled roof. This was a Latin innovation. Therefore, backwards they were not.

iTaLy The parts of central Italy that now are most of Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Latium were their native lands, but prior to the Roman Empire, the Etruscans ruled much of the Italian Peninsula.

Early Rome was heavily influenced by the Etruscans. During the Etruscan rule, which was around 250 years, many aspects of Etruscan culture were absorbed by the Romans.Early Rome was heavily influenced by the Etruscans.

the Etruscans
To rule their new conquests, the Romans created the Roman Confederation. Under this system, Romans gave full citizenship to some peoples, especially other Latins. They could vote and serve in the government, and they were treated the same as other citizens under the law. The Romans granted other peoples the status of allies.
