P.S. While this "Lars" business is obviously a
coincidence, we must not forget that there were
contacts (probably some early version of the amber
trade?) between Etruscan Italy and the Baltic shores.
The best evidence of this is the adoption of face-urn
burials (Etruscan inspired) by the early phase of the
Late Lusatian (Pomorian) culture in the 6th c. BC.
