Fuck Yeah Etruscans!

Fuck Yeah Etruscans! is an art/archeology/history tumblr that strives to spread a little more information on the ancient Etruscan culture of central Italy. Each day, one or two artifacts from ancient Etruria will be posted with a little blurb about what they are and why they're important. This'll range from the tombs in Tarquinia to the She-Wolf of Rome to the oldest buccharo and everything in between. If You Enjoy Fuck Yeah Etruscans then Check Out...

During her fall 2009 semester abroad in Florence, Italy, she fell head over heels for the art and culture of ancient Etruria and is still deeply interested in reading about it, as well as informing others.

This blog is no longer updating, nor will it be responding to asks, etc.  It will be kept up for posterity and archival use, so that other folks can stumble upon all things Etruscan. Thank you!

I enjoy that the Etruscans combine both naked ladies and ducks when it comes to jars.  British Museum.
