How did the Etruscans live?

By Sheryl A. McCoy

NOW THAT I KNOW THAT THE ETRUSCANS EXISTED, WHAT CAN I LEARN ABOUT THEIR LIFE?

How did the Etruscans live?  Use the Web Resources to complete these activities.

Draw a map of Italy and shade in the places where the Etruscans colonized and made the places their own.

Draw or diagram one of the Etruscan’s earlier homes.

Draw, diagram, or describe what the homes looked like in the most prosperous time, just before they were taken over by the Romans.

Describe what you think a typical day might have been like. Think about their food, clothing, containers, jobs or occupations.
