The Etruscans organized their towns
into city-states, each ruled by a king. The city-states worked
together in a league - the Etruscan League.
The league began to trade with
people in the east and people along the African coastline. Their
trade routes included the tiny village on the Tiber River. Even in
very early times, Rome was a busy place. The early Romans (the
Latins) learned a great deal from the Etruscan traders.
While the Etruscans were building
their own civilization, the city of Rome grew more powerful. Soon,
Rome was a center of trade and commerce. Some of Rome's early
kings were Etruscans.
