Greeks • Between 750 and 600 BC established colonies in southern Italy and Sicily. • Influenced Roman culture • Literature • Myths • Alphabet • Architecture - arch
Etruscans • Northern Italy • Tarquins 600 BC ruled as kings • During their rule Rome grew from villages to city nearly 500 square miles. • Lost control in 509 BC and Etruscan people mixed with other cultures to become known as the Romans.
