At the zenith of their power, the Etruscans controlled about a
third of the peninsula and their kings held sway in Rome over a
period of more than a 150 years. But after the expulsion of the
Tarquins at the close of the sixth century BC they began to lose
ground to the Romans; and their distinctive culture was gradually
absorbed in the pan-Italic civilization which Rome established,
until almost all clear record of it faded into obscurity. The
author of this work seeks to lift the mystery which enshrouds
almost every aspect of this civilization - from the vexed question
of their origins and curious non-Indo-European language to the
enigma of their highly complex religion - in which soothsaying
played so important a part.
