So Tarquinia is a really interesting case study for the Roman conquest of Etruria. Cary to Etruria just staying out things. We've talked about them. They've chosen that route. Tarquinia, not so much. Big Etruscan city, big target. And there is a series of truces and fights and battles and agreements and people go to war for a little while.

And then there'll be a truce for 40 years, and then all of a sudden things will break out again. So it's kind of little by little. It's a long fall of Tarquinia. So from, by Livy's reckoning, from about 358 to 281, we have this series of truces and agreements. But by 281, we see that Tarquinia has fallen. There is this triumph celebrating victory over the Etruscans back in Rome.

And then the next year, they're heading northwards up that coastal strip where a lot of the Etruscan wealth is centred. Vulci next. Vulci we haven't talked about very much today, but it's very much a centre of Etruscan artisans. A lot of the Etruscan red figure vase painting is happening at Vulci. We have these workshops there. Again, very rich coastal trading city and it falls again.

And then Arezzo goes to, I think Arezzo watches what's happening and they think, oh my gosh, we'd better be like Carey. They try that kind of the diplomatic route. They kind of go that softer route and they avoid things. But then Orvieto, Etruscan, Volsynia, they go the harder route and then we have more violence. In the territory of Orvieto, Volsynia, we have this Fanum Voltumne, which is this

temple of all Etruria, which supposedly was the meeting place for this Etruscan league. If we go back to the beginning, these 12 cities, they're meant to all meet here. When Rome takes Volsynia, you'll never guess what happens to the Phanumvulton, though. It gets completely destroyed and all the goodies are carted back to Rome.

Again, that statement of dismantling a political system, if we're going to take that literally, which, you know, we can argue about that, but this deliberate dismantling of an administrative system so that all power is going back to Rome in this conception.

And it's so interesting because I think the Oviedo Fall, if we look at the historical sources again, there are little clues in here as to how they're justifying this. So what we're told is that there's a problem with slave revolts. And Etruscan class structure is something that I think I'd love to know more about. And we do have this word laotni, which seems to mean kind of like peasantry or
