Italic tribes

The Italic tribes were ancient groups living in the Italian Peninsula, comprising various peoples such as the Latins, Sabines, and Umbrians. They spoke related languages and shared cultural traits, forming the foundation of early Italy. The Latins, in particular, established Rome, which grew into a powerful empire influencing Western civilization. The Italic tribes interacted through trade, alliances, and conflicts, contributing to Italy's rich historical tapestry. Their society was typically organized around villages and small towns, with distinct traditions that laid the groundwork for later Italian culture and social structures.
