 The Etruscan religion was an immanent polytheism, in which all visible phenomena were considered to be a manifestation of divine power, and deities continually acted in the world of men and could, by human action or inaction, be dissuaded against or persuaded in favor of human affairs.Etruscan expansion was focused across the Apennines.Some small towns in the 6th century BCE have disappeared during this time, ostensibly consumed by greater, more powerful neighbors.
