Lazio, the Latin heartland

Etruscan sarcophagus

An Etruscan sarcophagus, decorated with the Etruscan script, derived from the Euboean Greek alphabet (but seemingly written in mirror script), in the necropolis (burial place) of Tarquinia, the seat of the Etruscan kings who preceded the Latin Romans. The extinct Etruscan language has no known relatives today. Knowledge of Etruscan died out by the 1st century CE.
