Etruscan Name Quiz

Welcome to the etruscan name quiz. Did you know that the name Lasa originated from the mythology of the Etruscans? The ancient people worshipped a variety of female deities and were often surrounded by thick walls. Romans founded Rome on the Palatine Hill, and the pair's name is said to be derived from the words for'mother earth' and'receptacle'. Their gods were akin to Aphrodite and other Greek deities, and the city of Rome was the birthplace of the Romans. The Etruscans named their city Romulus after their gods, and the word 'romulus' means 'land of the Gods'. The name 'Roma' comes from the Latin term'minerva', which means'mother earth.'

The name Lautn refers to the marriage center. The Etruscans were monogamous, and the sarcophagi lids often depict smiling couples in the prime of life, or in an embrace. Many tombs also contain funerary inscriptions naming both parents. Women in Etruscan society were allowed to enjoy freedoms not available to Greek women. They were allowed to participate in mixed-sex socialization outside the domestic sphere, and women were able to marry men with lower social status.

Did you know that the Etruscans had their own calendar? The saeculum, a unit of time, was the time used to measure time in ancient Italy. The longest person in a generation lived for about ten years, and each saeculum was divided into a year. This system was similar to the calendar used in the Roman calendar, with years divided into saecula.
