Italic Peoples

Italic Peoples refer to a group of ancient tribes that lived in the Italian Peninsula, primarily during the first millennium BCE. This includes the Latins, Sabines, Samnites, and Umbrians, among others. They spoke various Italic languages, which are part of the larger Indo-European family. One of the most notable contributions of the Italic Peoples was the rise of Rome, which began as a Latin settlement. Over time, their cultures and languages influenced each other, leading to the development of Roman civilization and ultimately shaping the linguistic and cultural landscape of Italy and Europe.
