| Description: This map shows the Roman Empire at its greatest extent, which was reached in 106 CE under the emperor Trajan. Beginning in the eighth century BCE, Greeks established colonies on the Italian mainland and in Sicily. From the seventh century BCE, people known as Etruscans, probably related to the Villanovans. Etruscan wealth came from fertile soil and an abundance of metal ore. The Etruscans were also sailors and merchants. Etruscan artists drew inspiration from Greek and Near Eastern art, creating a distinctive Etruscan style.
