25. Sharing  wives  is  an  established  Etruscan  custom.  
    Etruscan  women  take  par4cular  care  of  their  bodies  
    and  exercise  oEen,  some4mes  along  with  the  men,  
    and  some4mes  by  themselves.  It  is  not  a  disgrace  
    for  them  to  be  seen  naked.  Further,  they  dine,  not  
    with  their  own  husbands,  but  with  any  men  who  
    happen  to  be  present,  and  they  pledge  with  wine  
    any  whom  they  wish.  They  are  also  expert  drinkers  
    and  are  very  good  looking.
