Most of the time, we associate the Etruscans with the rise of Rome. This is true, but the Etruscans were not just rivals of Rome, they were also early rivals of Carthage and the Greek settlers into the western parts of the Mediterranean. There was a period known as the Etruscan Expansion that brought Greeks and Etruscans into conflict. Most of the documented battles were at sea, but where there is conflict at Sea, there is also conflict on land. Since we have no remaining written (and translated) Etruscan sources, such details have likely been lost to history.

However, you can see an army list for the Etruscans in Men of Bronze on the blog here:
