Extract

It is well enough known that readers of English enjoy unimpeded access to 'the greatest book written about the Etruscans' in George Dennis's Cities and cemeteries of Etruria (Strong, 1968, 140). Well enough known: but not entirely true. Dennis's references to the Etruscans themselves have rather less evocative charm and lasting value than his guide to their country: 'he (and his contemporaries) got the history hopelessly wrong' (Finley, 1972, III; and see Dennis himself, 1893, on Phoenicians in America).
