"[...] much-anticipated reference work [...] Every chapter offers some new discovery or fresh approach. [...] Etruscology entries generally evince healthy respect for the evidence of ancient authors while maintaining reasonable caution; all relevant chapters present the latest archaeological evidence, a refreshing contrast to many histories that merely repeat literary accounts. This makes the work especially valuable for student readings: laymen are too often exposed only to superficial or outdated views, like the Herodotean tale or the assertion that the Etruscan language has not been deciphered. Here is a reliable antidote for such fictions. [...] In depth of scholarship and the restoration of Etruscan complexity through archaeological interpretation, Etruscology merits frequent consultation. "

"Insgesamt aber haben Nichtspezialisten jetzt keinen Grund mehr, sich nicht auch komparatistisch mit den Etruskern zu beschäftigen. Auch das Studium des frühen Rom in seinem gesamtitalischen Kontext kann durch das opulente Werk wichtige Impulse erhalten."
Uwe Walter in: Historische Zeitschrift 1 (2019), 149-150
