Life in Etruscan Society A fresco from an Etruscan tomb, painted about 470 B.C.E., shows dancers in an idyllic setting with olive trees, while other walls depict musicians and a banquet. The scenes are based on those on Greek pottery, evidence of the connections between the Etruscans and their Greek neighbors to the south. This tomb is one among many thousands in the Necropolis of Monterozzi in Tarquinia, just north of Rome, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
