Encyclopedia > Rasenna

"Rasenna" (or "rasna") is the word in the Etruscan language that is used to describe the Northern Italian people commonly known as the Etruscans. They were also called Etrusci or Tusci by the Romans and Tyrrhenoi by the Greeks.


Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who believed that the Etruscans were an autochthonous people native to Italy, referenced the meaning of this word in his writings.

The Etruscans (1548 words)
They called themselves Rasenna and enjoyed their power and cultural superiority until they passed their heritage on to the Romans.
The result of a happy mixture of the indigenous race with visitors from Asia Minor and from the Alps, the Rasenna settled in what is known today as Tuscany.
They were masters of iron-working, they specialised in augury (nobody surpassed an Etruscan Haruspex in finding special clues by examining animals entrails and meteorological phenomenon) they were natural farmers with a talent for hydraulic engineering, they were sharp traders and great spenders.
