The Etruscan Civilization flourished in what is now Central Italy
from about 800 to 264 BC. While evidence would suggest that the Etruscans were
highly educated and productive in their scholarship, almost no evidence remains
of that scholarship in the form of texts or records. However, there is some
evidence that the Etruscans employed such practices as haruspicy and taught and
learned in special institutes, kind of like universities.
