Sharing wives is an established Etruscan custom. Etruscan women take particular care of their bodies and exercise often, sometimes along with the men, and sometimes by themselves. It is not a disgrace for them to be seen naked. Further, they dine, not with their own husbands, but with any men who happen to be present, and they pledge with wine any whom they wish. They are also expert drinkers and are very good looking.

Critical Thinking Questions
1. What are some of the major obstacles to interpreting Etruscan materials?
2. What is the relationship between Etruscan and Greek art and culture?
3. How are the roles of Etruscan women in art and life different the roles of Greek women?
4. How do Etruscan tombs incorporate the tradition of the Greek symposium?
