Changes

The ancient Romans were influenced by several different peoples, including the Etruscans. The Etruscans influence aspects of Roman art and religion and were among some of its kings, but they were also among early Rome’s most formidable enemies. Rome and the Etruscans, especially the city of Veii, fought a conflict for control of central Italy that lasted for several hundred years. Through a combination of tenacity, fortune, and some good leaders, the Romans were finally able to incorporate Etruria into the Roman Republic.  {{MediaWiki:AmNative}}
