This was M. PietroRosa, known to the learned by his topographical studieson the Roman Carnpagna. M. Rosa at once set to workwith ardour, and was not long in justifying, by the mostimportant discoveries, the confidence shown in him.^ These discoveries were not limited to the Imperialepoch. While searching, especially for the Palace ofthe Cfiesars, they found remains of the old town ofRomulus, which might have been thought for everlost. It was well known to have been built on thePalatine. History relates how the first king, havingcalled around him all the adventurers of the neigh-bourhood, marked out its boundary in accordance withthe Etruscan rit
The Etruscan civilization was developed by a people of Etruria in ancient Italy with a common language and culture who formed a federation of city-states. After conquering adjacent lands, its territory covered at its greatest extent, roughly what is now Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio, as well as what are now the Po Valley, Emilia-Romagna, south-eastern Lombardy, southern Veneto, and western Campania. The earliest evidence of a culture that is identifiably Etruscan dates from about 900 BC. This is the period of the Iron Age Villanovan culture, considered to be the earliest phase of Etruscan civilization, which itself developed from the previous late Bronze Age Proto-Villanovan culture in the same region. Etruscan civilization endured until it was assimilated into Roman society. Assimilation began in the late 4th century BC as a result of the Roman–Etruscan Wars; it accelerated with the grant of Roman citizenship in 90 BC, and became complete in 27 BC, when the Etruscans' territory was incorporated into the newly established Roman Empire.
