Please choose one of the following questions, and post your response of a minimum of 150 words. Be sure that your comments are original, thoughtful, and well developed. This discussion will be open for the whole course, so check back frequently:

2) Etruscan culture seems very different from other ancient cultures when it comes to gender roles.

In answering this question, please choose one example from art, architecture, politics, philosophy, religion, or literature to show this enduring quality.
