Summary

The development of Etruria is key to our understanding of the political foundations of Europe. It was the earliest region in the central and western Mediterranean to have urban life and political structures of local origin, and as the zone of interaction between the Mediterranean and northern Europe it laid the foundations for the expansion of Rome. In this ground-breaking study, Simon Stoddart integrates conceptual explanations of landscape and the spatial dynamics of Etruria with underlying political and economic explanatory forces to produce a new account of the region's development.
