Twenty five papers from a 1992 British Museum Colloquium exploring Italy's relationship with the rest of Europe in antiquity. The contributions are divided into three sections on the Etruscans (`Exports North of Italy', `Etruscan Routes out of Italy' and `Etruscan Craftsmanship in Italy') and four on the Romans (`The Effects of Romanisation in Italy', `Roman Exports to the North', `Roman Financial Systems' and `Tableware as a Sign of Romanisation').
