Answer 1

B. They provided a model for the Roman government. The Etruscans had a significant influence on early Roman civilization, particularly in the areas of religion, art, and architecture. They also influenced the Roman political system, with the Romans adopting some of the Etruscan political institutions and rituals. However, the Etruscans were not the first kings of Rome, did not found the first city in the Roman republic, and did not have a direct influence on the Romans' writing system.
