hope this answers it...

Explanation:

The Etruscans were important to ancient Rome as they were the

culture by which the Romans were most influenced. You can compare

the Roman/Etruscan cultural relationship to the American/British

relationship. Both the American and Roman societies developed on

their own, but their roots were in the British and Etruscan

societies.
