Publisher Description
The Etruscan civilisation still dominates the centre of Italy, but things are changing. Trade with Greece brings new ideas, while the recently founded city of Rome may be poor and lawless but offers a chance for the ambitious to make their names and their fortune. Thanchvil, though a member of the royal house of Tarchna, takes that chance with her husband the half-Greek, half-Etruscan Lauchme, and soon they gain the old king's favour. Can they take power? And can they keep it?

Long ago I studied Roman history at University. Spent lots of time in Rome and Tuscany and northern Italy. This book opened up a new (earlier) chapter of Rome to me and fleshed out names that were just scaffolding. The Etruscans. Brilliant!
