What alphabet system was inspired by Etruscan numerals and was used on the Italian Peninsula?
Etruscan numerals The Etruscan numerals were used by the ancient Etruscans. The system was adapted from the Greek Attic numerals and formed the inspiration for the later Roman numerals via the Old Italic script.
Italian Peninsula The Italian Peninsula or Apennine Peninsula (Italian: "Penisola italiana" , "Penisola appenninica") extends 1000 km from the Po Valley in the north to the central Mediterranean Sea in the south. The peninsula's shape gives it the nickname "lo Stivale" (the Boot). Three smaller peninsulas contribute to this characteristic shape, namely Calabria (the "toe"), Salento (the "heel") and Gargano (the "spur").
