Etruscan Civilization
The Etruscan civilization ( ) was an ancient civilization created by the Etruscans, a people who inhabited Etruria in List of ancient peoples of Italy, ancient Italy, with a common language and culture, and formed a federation of city-states. After adjacent lands had been conquered 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. A large body of literature has flourished on the origins of the Etruscans, but the consensus among modern scholars is that the Etruscans were an indigenous population. 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, p ...

Etruscan Bear
''Ursus etruscus'', the Etruscan bear, is an extinct species of bear, endemic to Europe, Asia, and North Africa during the Early Pleistocene, living from approximately 2.2 million to around 1.4-1.2 million years ago. Taxonomy The Etruscan bear appears to have evolved from '' Ursus minimus'' and gave rise to the modern brown bear, '' Ursus arctos'', and the extinct cave bear, '' Ursus spelaeus''. The range of Etruscan bears was mostly limited to continental Europe, with specimens also recovered in the Great Steppe region of Eurasia. Fossil evidence for the Etruscan bear was recovered in Palestine, Greece, Croatia, and Tuscany, Italy. Some scientists have proposed that the early, small variety of ''U. etruscus'' of the middle Villafranchian era survives in the form of the modern Asian black bear. Morphology Not unlike the brown bears of Europe in size, it had a full complement of premolars, a trait carried from the genus '' Ursavus''. Ecology ''Ursus etruscus'', like mod ...

They are also found in the Maltese islands, situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Although widespread and not threatened overall, they are generally uncommon and are endangered in some countries. Descr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nowadays, it is generally agreed to be in the Tyrsenian language family, but before it gained currency as one of the Tyrsenian languages, it was commonly treated as an Language isolate, isolate, although there were also a number of other less well-known hypotheses.
