in what way did the etruscans influence the development of rome?

Answer 1

Etruscan priests (haruspices) were asked to lay out the original city of Rome according to etstablished Etruscan religious rituals.

Rome was then ruled by a several Etruscan kings, among them Tarquin, Servius Tullius. and Tarquin the Proud.

Tarquin drained off the water of the marshes by establishing a series of ditches, all sloping toward the Tiber River. The reclaimed land from Tarquin's effort provided room for a civic center which eventually became the Roman Forum.

Servius Tullius, in 575 BC, laid the first pavement in Rome.

Tarquin the Proud built the great sewer system that received the drainage from the ditches the first Tarquin had made.

The Etruscans also taught the Romans the art of surveying and the practice of designing the street patterns in their colonies and military camps.

This is a very brief answer to the importance of the Etruscans in early Roman history. There is much more if you'll just do the research.
