Etruscan written sources

Etruscan written sources are primarily inscriptions found on tombs, artifacts, and monuments, using the Etruscan language and script. These inscriptions include funerary texts, religious dedications, and official records, providing insights into their rituals, society, and beliefs. Since the Etruscan language is only partially understood and the script is unique, these sources are invaluable but limited in scope. No extensive literary works survive, so most knowledge comes from short inscriptions that scholars study to piece together Etruscan history and culture.
