wasformerly called. That name very probably was Etruscan. It iscurious, however, if that was the Etruscan name ^that it should so resemble the modern word* Toscana. Toscanella lies upon the river Marta,and should you have driven here from Corneto, (tothe South-West of Toscanella) as you may very wellhave done, it will please you to greet an old friendin this familiar river. Toscanella may well bestyled the City of Etruscan Sarcophagi. Morehave been unearthed here than anywhere else, andI am informed,—though I have not yet seen it, thatlast year (1908) a gilded one was discovered. Evennow ,they bristle in the town. In the cloister ofS. Maria del Riposo I was shown thirty. And tenare perched upon the walls of the Spedale. * Nothing gives us so clear a picture of the universal dominationof Italy by the Etruscans as the geographical names. From Northto South all places are of this origin. W. M. Lindsay in his intro-duction to the recent new edition of Denniss Cities and Sitesof Etruria.

ta^UL: CHAPTER XVIII, VITERBO AND ENVIRONS ; TOSCANELLA The Secretary of the Mujiicipio told me that hq itwas who had sent the fine large lion of peperino to the Florence Museum;. (It is to be seen in the Court-yard of that Museum.) Other statues of lions havebeen found at Toscanella. They were placed overthe tomjbs, inot within them. Several sarcophagi fromToscanella are in the Vatican-Etruscan Museum. Yetno sarcophagus found at Toscanella can equal ,the Bacchic in, the Florence Museum. The recumbejitfigure is, I think, a male one although of a femininecharacter, as is often found in representations ofBacchus. The head crowned with grapes is charac-terised by a graceful languor. The form clothed inhighly-worked drapery and with a heavy torque uponthe neck, rests, comfortably supported upon the leftarm, on cushions. The right hand caresses a vasewhich appears to be empty.

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.
