I'm not sure I'd say Etruscan influence was particularly notable in the army - at least, not that we can tell, unless you are going to stretch the Servian Constitution a lot further than you ought.

I'm also not super thrilled by the description of Rome sitting on the edge of Etruria while entirely leaving out, you know, Latium. I assume there's a desire to really bolt Rome on to a previous section on the Etruscans, but you know, Latin cultural influence was big in Rome too

Finally, 'Rome obliged some Etruscan towns to become clients' is a terribly bloodless way of saying 'Rome extended its growing violent military hegemony into Etruria.

I mean, it is simply lifted from the Diodorus/Ineditum Vatican topos "from the Etruscans we learned to fight with xalxaspides and in phalanxes." But, that is both uncritical and outdated.

So, my autocorrect changed Vaticanum, and I don't like that... can I set my phone to Latin???
