Etruscan+and+Greek+influences

After viewing artists' renditions of Roman civilization, you should now be aware of some of the Etruscan and Greek influences on Roman civilization. In class, work with your group members to discuss the following questions. If time does not allow, work on these for homework and record answers in your notebook.


 * 1) Which Etruscan and Greek cultural aspects influenced Roman civilization the most? Which influenced the least?
 * 2) Which group - Etruscan or Greek - do you think had a greater influence on Roman culture? Why?
 * 3) Which aspects of Etruscan and Greek cultures do you seem to not have influenced Roman civilization? Why do you think the Romans did not borrow these aspects of culture?
