The Etruscans, like the contemporary cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome had a persistent military tradition. In addition to marking the rank and power of certain individuals in Etruscan culture, warfare was a considerable economic boon to Etruscan civilization. Like many ancient societies, the Etruscans conducted campaigns during summer months; raiding neighboring areas, attempting to gain territory and combating piracy as a means of acquiring valuable resources such as land, prestige goods and slaves. It is also likely individuals taken in battle would be ransomed back to their families and clans at high cost. Prisoners could also potentially be sacrificed on tombs to honor fallen leaders of Etruscan society, not unlike the sacrifices made by Achilles for Patroclus.

  • L'histoire militaire étrusque, comme celles des cultures contemporaines de Grèce et de Rome antique, obéit à une tradition importante : en plus de marquer le rang et la puissance de certains individus dans la culture étrusque, la guerre était une aubaine économique considérable à leur civilisation. Comme de nombreuses sociétés antiques, les Étrusques ont mené des campagnes durant les mois d'été. Les raids dans les régions voisines, en essayant de gagner du terrain et la lutte contre les pilleurs étaient considérés comme un moyen d'acquérir de précieuses ressources comme la terre, des biens de prestige et des esclaves.

  • Per organizzazione militare degli Etruschi si intende l'insieme delle forze che componevano gli eserciti delle principali città etrusche, comprendenti l'organizzazione delle loro unità, la loro gerarchia interna di comando, la tattica, l'armamento e la strategia, dai primi scontri con le popolazioni dell'antica Etruria fino alla definitiva sottomissione a Roma e la concessione loro della cittadinanza romana (89 a.C.).
