The Etruscans came under the sphere of Rome's influence as started becoming Latinised in the early 3rd century BC. The last instances of Etruscan resistance against Rome occurred in the mid and late 4th and early 3rs centuries. Etruria was a collection of independent city states, rather than a unified nation.

Tarquinii and Vulci (two cities near the coast of southern Etruria) fought a war with Rome from 358 BC to 351 BC and lost. They signed a peace treaty. Rome seized some of their territories and some of their ports to weaken them.

In the 311 BC four of the five Etruscan cities on the mountains of eastern Tuscany (Cortona, Clusium, Volsinii and Perusia) joined forces to attack the city of Sutrium, which was a Roman colony. Arrretium, which was in the same area, did not join in. They attacked this city twice in and were defeated on the second occasion. They were then routed at the Battle of Lake Vadimo in 310 BC. In 308 BC the Romans seized some fortresses belonging to Volsinii.

In 295 BC these Etruscan cities allied with the Samnites and the Senone tribe of the Gauls against Rome during the Third Samnite War (298-90 BC). The Romans sent military detachments to their territories to separate them from the Samnite and Senone forces and defeated them. They also defeated the Samnites and Gauls at the battle of Sentinum. In the same year an alliance between Arretiun Perusia and Volterrae (in the north of Etruria) was defeated near Rosellae (on the coast in the south). In 294 BC the Romans ravaged the territory of Volsinii and defeated her army by her city walls. A forty-year truce was agreed.

The last instance of Etruscan resistance was 283 BC. An unspecified number of Etruscan cities allied with the Senone Gauls. They routed a Roman contingent. The Senones were then defeated and these Etruscans joined forces with the Boii Gauls who were marching south. They marched on Rome together, but they were routed in another Battle of Lake Vadimone. In 280 BC Volsinii took up arms in alliance with Vuci (a city of the coast in the south of Etruria) but was defeated and was finally subjugated. In 265 BC the aristocracy of Volsinii was too weak to deal with a revolutionary movement of freedmen and asked Rome for help. The Romans intervened and rescued the aristocracy, but decided to destroy the city and relocate its people to a new (Roman) Volsinii.
