Talk:Etruscan cities

Article start, rewrite
That was fast! I just moved this material in here from Etruscan civilization and have not had a chance to mark it as a stub and already it has a template. Great! I would say, go ahead and and rewrite it. For myself, it will be a while before I can work on it. When I do, if it still has the template and you have not clarified what you mean or attempted to rewrite it, I am going to remove the template (after I work on ithe article). Fair enough? It seems fair to me.Dave 21:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

& Tusculum : The name of "Tusculum" means "the settlement of the Tusci(the Etruscans)", but it was not an Etruscan city. It was a Latin city (a city from Latium). The name of Tusculum shows us that it might be conquered by the Etruscans before...

 * Verona ? : from History of Verona: "The origins of Verona are disputed... a people of uncertain origins, perhaps connected to the Etruscans: the name would have meant "Venetian city on the river" in the Etruscan language." Böri (talk) 14:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

A big "hmm" on this one
I'm very much convinced this page has a lot of misinformation on it, namely in the right hand column of the table of Etruscan cities. Not only are these all functionally unsourced (a hand wavey "check the articles linked below" isn't enough), but many of the settlements listed don't appear to have Etruscan history at all. Most tellingly, if we are to believe the table, Etruscan settlement expanded as far as the Italian borders (Trieste, Domodossola) and no further. I'm not sure what would've compelled the Etruscans to only expand as far as the modern borders of Italy! So to me this reads like pseudohistory, neologised Etruscan exonyms for places they had no real presence in. This certainly isn't the case for every city in the column (Bologna, for example) but I do think the whole thing needs a good looking at. LacsiraxAriscal (talk) 00:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
