5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent study of the subject,
By
This review is from: Etruscan Art (The Yale University Press Pelican History of Art) (Paperback)
This is an excellent study of the subject. The author relates Etruscan history to its surrounding cultures, as well as giving great detail about the artefacts themselves. There are 329 illustrations and you will find examples of an exhaustive range of said artefacts, along with an excellent map of the region. My particular interest was the military history of the Etruscans, and there were excellent details of equipment and figures illustrated and discussed.
Further reading: The Etruscans (The Peoples of Europe)
