Present-day Italy was once home to the Etruscans, an influential ancient civilization that thrived from the 8th century BC. Their territory, known as Etruria, spanned from the southwest of the Italian peninsula up to the north, including what is now the island of Corsica, a French territory. The heartland of Etruscan civilization was marked by 12 major cities, highlighting Rome's origins as a relatively minor city within the Etruscan sphere. #africanhistory #africa References 1.
