DIONYSIUS OF HALICARNASSUS
37 - 100

Dionysius, or Dionysios, was a Greek historian who wrote on the history of Rome in 20 books.

Regarding the origin of the Etruscans, Dionysius disagreed with historian Herodotus, who favored the theory that they had moved into the region from what is today's Turkey. Instead, Dionysius was of the opinion that the Etruscans had been local people all along.
