{"product_id":"the-etruscans-raffaele-damato-9781472828316","title":"The Etruscans: 9th-2nd Centuries BC","description":"\u003cp\u003eAncient Rome had deep roots in the \"Villanovan\" culture that we call today the Etruscans. Their long-lived civilization can be traced to 900--750 BC in northwest Italy. They were a sea-faring people trading with and competing against Greek and Phoenician peoples, including the Carthaginians. They were also a great land-based power, especially in the \"Classical\" period, where they expanded their power north into the Po Valley and south to Latium. In the 6th century BC an Etruscan dynasty ruled Rome, and their power extended southwards to the Amalfi coast. In 509 BC the Romans rose up to expel their kings, which began the long \"Etruscan twilight\" when their power was squeezed by the Samnites and, most especially, the Romans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on archeological evidence including warrior tombs, paintings, sculptures, and fully illustrated throughout, this study examines one of the early rivals to Ancient Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raffaele D'Amato, Andrea Salimbeti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472828313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472828316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 7.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Raffaele D'Amato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670432960767,"sku":"9781472828316","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-etruscans-raffaele-damato-9781472828316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
