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 want to know what eighth century BCE text mentions Rome, tbh...

There isn't a previous section on Etruria, though. It just creates an artificial core-periphery that does nothing to help students understand the situation.

Oh. I assumed there would have been a chunky previous section on Etruria for all of the Etruscan focus they put in there. Without that, yeah, this is just going to be terribly confusing to students.
