There were Celts (called “Gauls” by the Romans) who had come south to the Po Plain in northern Italy, and Greeks from classical Greece in southern Italy.Īmong the most important of these populations were the Etruscans, who developed a refined and advanced civilization that had great influence on Rome and the Latin world. Examples are Liguri in Liguria, Umbri in Umbria and so on. What we now call Italy had several different names in early antiquity, among which were Enotria, Ausonia, Esperia as well as many others.Īncient Italy was inhabited by various peoples, what we nowadays might call “ethnic groups”, whose names sometimes, but not always, corresponded to the regions of today’s Italy they lived on.

Arpi remained faithful to Rome until Rome′s defeat at the battle of Cannae, but the consul Quintus Fabius Maximus, son of the famous Roman dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, captured it in 213 B.C., and it never recovered its former importance. In the war with Pyrrhus, the Arpani aided Rome with a contingent of 4000 foot and 400 horse. As a protection against the Samnites, Arpi became an ally of Rome. Its territory extended to the sea, and Strabo says that from the extent of the city walls one could gather that it had once been one of the greatest cities of Italy.
