The Etruscans were a people from west Italy whose civilisation reached its height in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C. When the Etruscan people emerged is a point of debate, and their origins lie in Italy's prehistory. The earliest surviving examples of the Etruscan language date from around 700 B.C.[1]
