An Ancient and Modern History of Etruria

By Daniel V. Coberly V. Reichenberg

Etruria, also known as Tuscany, is the heartland of Italy. Its mere mention invokes thoughts of warm, sunny days, good food, good wine, and happy memories. The history of Etruria is not one of a simple place, though. It is the tale of a land of independent city-states that grew out of the demise of the Roman Empire. The fate and history of these cities became forever linked with Florence, the Etrurian capital and birthplace of the Renaissance. An Ancient and Modern History of Etruria (5th Edition) explores the journey of this vibrant land and its people from the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages, the glories of the Renaissance, the Napoleonic Empire, and into a new, unified Italy. It is a journey in which Etruria gave birth to the modern world.
