Etruscan figure from the 2nd century BC. Bronze. Measures: 3,5 cm. Small Etruscan sculpture entirely made in bronze, representing a character in movement, with its extremities perfectly delimited. As we can verify with the figure that occupies us, already in the antiquity the Etruscan culture was surrounded by an aura of mystery; ; even their Greek contemporaries were intrigued by the sudden emergence of that people as a maritime and commercial power, by that ancient people that, according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, "does not resemble any other in its language and customs". While there are those who consider them as the people that gave rise to the Roman Empire, there are other experts who give more relevance to the differences that exist between the two peoples and consider them mere neighbors or "conqueror and conquered", depending on the time in which one speaks, recognizing a strong influence of some elements of Etruscan culture and art observed on the Romans.
