The Etruscans were a people of sophisticated culture and technology who lived in the area between Florence and Rome. Their civilization flourished for nearly a thousand years before being subsumed by the Roman Empire, but they left a substantial legacy to western civilization. In antiquity they were known as a wealthy, luxury-loving people, fond of banqueting and music and deeply religious. They were highly literate, but their literature has not survived, so we turn to Etruscan art to tell us about their mythology and beliefs. Their plentiful, spontaneous art also tells us a great deal about their lives and about the importance of women in their aristocratic society. Most informative of their own distinctive and colorful beliefs are their interpretations of scenes from Greek mythology, reflecting the importance of goddesses and demons in their religion, as well as scenes of the human sacrifice they practiced.

"Corresponding to Etruscan belief the supernatural-divine sphere took great influence on the life of both the single and the whole community. The interpretation of the divine will and the accurate execution of cult activities played an important role. It is not surprising that the Etruscans were considered as very religious people in ancient opinion. The 26 articles of these international proceedings address the many aspects of a theme, that deals with the widespread interactions between religious and public-social spheres, in with regard to content and method different ways. The chronological frame ranges from the Villanovan period, the early phase of Etruscan culture, down to the Roman Empire. Linguistically oriented articles stand next to those of archaeological, epigraphical and/or more historical approach illustrating the broadness of actual research interests. Special interest is hold for the Etruscan pantheon (as a whole or with regard to single gods), structure and range of duties of priesthoods as well as the literarily (especially the Liber Linteus and the 'brontoscopic calendar'), archaeological and iconographical manifestations of rituals and religious beliefs. Analyses with specific Etruscan focus are complemented by articles treating questions concerning the Etrusco-Greek or Etrusco-Italic escpecially Etrusco-Roman network of relationships (for example the genesis of the triumph and the role of the haruspices) or concentrating on testimonies of other peoples of pre-Roman Italy."--Publisher's website.
