The book of American Etruscologists covers all aspects of the Etruscan religion, including gods, the role of priests, sacred sites, vocabulary subjects, inscriptions, etc. The well-known texts of that era are given in the form of an appendix: the Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar in Greek and English, and quotations (original text and translation into English) from Greek and Latin literary sources relating to the Etruscan religion: the prophecy of the Etruscan nymph Vegoyi, excerpts from Libya, Ovid, Pliny St. and others. The edition is abundantly illustrated.
