Rome before 100 BC:
The Etruscans (850 BC - 264 BC)
The Early Republic (509 BC - 100 BC)


See also: Ancient Rome Resource Page. For Greek art in Italy, including Italo-Greek vases and Roman copies of Greek sculptures, see Ancient Greece. The end of the Early Republic is often cited as 133 BC (election of Tiberius Gracchus as tribune). For convenience, I've extended it here to the end of the century (107 BC, dictatorship of Marius).
