The further advance of the Etruscans to the south of the peninsula and beyond was hampered by the Greek cities that appeared during the Great Colonization in the VTII century. BC. in southern Italy and Sicily. The Etruscans, having a strong fleet, sought to dominate the seas adjacent to Italy. Their rivalry with the Greeks attracted the attention of Carthage, a powerful city on the northern coast of Africa founded by Phoenician merchants. Carthage considered the Greeks to be its main competitors on the sea trade routes and therefore sided with the Etruscans. The allies managed to prevent the strengthening of Greek influence and secure dominance in the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas for the Etruscans, and eventually in the names of these water areas: the ancients called the Etruscans the Tyrrhenians, as already mentioned, and Adria is one of the Etruscan cities on the east coast of Italy.

The frescoes of the tombs of the Etruscan nobility and the evidence of ancient writers allow us to speak about the presence of slavery in Etruscan society. But whether the labor of slaves was widely used in handicraft production or whether they were used as domestic servants, it is impossible to say for sure.
In the 7th century BC. the Etruscans began to spread their influence to the neighboring regions of Etruria. Their cities appear in the fertile Campania and in the north of the Apennine peninsula, in the Po valley. The largest of them were Capua, Nola, Felsina, Mantua, Spina. The issue of Etruscan dominance in Latium is controversial. Some researchers believe that they conquered this area and founded Rome, reinforcing their point of view by the fact that it was during the reign of the kings of the Etruscan Tarquinian dynasty that Rome became the most powerful city of Latium (see the article “Ancient Rome”). Others, referring to Roman writers, speak only of the Etruscan influence on this territory.
Far from friendly relations between the Greeks and the Etruscans, however, did not interfere with the economic and cultural exchange between them. The Etruscans used the Greek alphabet to create their own script; acquaintance with Greek religion and mythology had a great influence on their religious ideas and art. Greek artisans settled in Etruscan cities; this contributed to the development of their own handicraft production there. Near the city of Caere, the Greek settlement of Pirgi has become an important seaport. Goods were brought here from the Mediterranean countries: expensive painted vases from Corinth, gold and silver dishes from Syria, Phoenicia and Cyprus, precious jewelry and ivory from the East. In turn, Etruria exported metal products for which its craftsmen were famous.
