A rare, untouched tomb from the ancient Etruscan civilization was recently discovered in central Italy. The Etruscans, also known as Tyrrhenians, flourished between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. Their land, Etruria or Tuscia, was located in central Italy, bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea, Arno River, and Tiber River. They had a strong navy and controlled the seas on Italy’s western coast. Etruria held the largest iron reserves in the western Mediterranean region. They were the first in the Mediterranean to build grid-plan cities, which inspired Roman urban planning. Roman civilization adopted many Etruscan customs, including city layouts and religious beliefs.
