Extractions: This paper discusses the sculptures done by the Etruscans in ancient history. The paper presents the sculpture, "Etruscan warrior supporting a wounded comrade", from the early 5th century BCE, describing the era when it was created. The paper compares this sculpture to "Augustus in Armor", another sculpture created in 20 BCE. The paper illustrates the differences in these two sculptures according to the time period that they were created. Before the notoriety of ancient Rome, Italy was the home of a nation called Etruria, whose inhabitants were known as Etruscans. Unfortunately, bitter Roman or ancient Greek historians have misconstrued the Etruscan legacy, in most cases tainting their accounts with a blatant anti-Etruscan bias. This paper considers why there exists such a lack of information about the Etruscans and further illuminates the extent to which surviving artwork offers insights into their culture.
