Why did the patricians resent the Etruscan's?

Answer 1

The fashionable theory that the Ertuscans ruled Rome is just that, a theory, even though it is often presented as if it was a matter of fact. It has been challenged. Its evidence base is flimsy and it is based on unproven assumptions. Recent archaeological evidence suggests a different picture. The Romans themselves never mentioned an Etruscan invasion and they recorded that at one point they elected a half Etruscan and half Greek as their king following the due process of the Roman monarchy.

Answer 2

The patricians, who were the elite aristocratic class in ancient Rome, resented the Etruscans because they were seen as outsiders. The Etruscans, who ruled over Rome before the establishment of the Roman Republic, were of a different culture and were viewed as foreign conquerors. The patricians wanted to assert their own Roman identity and independence, which led to their resentment of the Etruscans.
