The Etruscan alphabet was written in reverse and mirrored

The archaic Etruscan alphabet was primarily written from right to left, or sometimes in boustrophedon. The reading direction determined the orientation of the characters, which were then mirrored. This peculiarity gradually faded during the classical period before the definitive adoption of the left-to-right direction.
