But it doesn't seem very clear. It doesn't seem like there's potentially this system of slavery that's as well, not as well advanced, that's a horrible thing to say, as well entrenched maybe as in the Greek world and in the Roman world. So if there is a slave revolt, whose slaves are they and what are they doing? What are they rebelling against? Where has this come from?

Are these peasants who are unhappy? Are these actual enslaved people? When you say slave revolt to me, I think about Spartacus, but that's not appropriate here. So what's going on? But what I think this is, is an excuse. I think what you have are these elite families that we've spoken about already falling out with one another. And we see this again and again in Roman history.

You can see what's coming. They're going to exploit any cracks in the social fabric and they're going to put their cards behind one family. You look at the Roman conquest of Britain, you see this again and again. And they'll exploit that. So maybe one group of people fall out with another. It gets called a revolt. The Romans pile in on the other side.

And then, oh, oops, actually, we've taken your territory and you are going to be left here with your nice house and your riches. But you belong to us now. And I think that's something that we can see heading northwards as these Etruscan cities come under Roman influence.

I don't want to say the Roman yoke, but it is kind of a little bit like that, this playing off these tensions and these rivalries. We see it again up in the kind of Florence area, this idea that there's a revolt. It's fine for us to come in and tidy up because these people are losing control anyway.

Yeah, I think that's a really interesting perspective to take. So we can definitely see that Etruscan culture continues on. You know, we were just talking about Sartiano and the example there that this family is still able to practice these death rituals that are so important to them, and they're still able to spend their wealth on making this burial place. But it's not just burial rituals.

It's also a kind of religious practice. We can see Rome honing its playbook, this religious tolerance, that it's okay to believe in your traditional religion as long as it actually doesn't get in the way with what we're wanting from you. So Etruscan religion is still really important. And some of the most famous archaeological artefacts that we have
