Adriatic Veneti (Tribe Inhabited, Venice)

Posted by admin in General, Guide, Tips, Venice Landmarks, Venice Tour | Leave a comment

The Veneti that are too termed as heneti in Latin, ενετοί enetoi in Greek were an ancient people that resided and made the north-eastern Italy their dwelling place. This is the area that is equated to the modern-day region of the Veneto. The primeval Veneti used to spoke Venetic, an extinct Indo-European language which is attested in about 300 short inscriptions as dating from sixth to the 1st centuries BC. Venetic has many similarities as with Latin and the Italic languages, but also has some closeness to other IE languages, profoundly Germanic and Celtic. Venetic, however, should not me mixed up and be confused with Venetian, a Romance language currently being spoken and delivered in the region. In Italy, these old people are also known to be as Paleoveneti as to differentiate them from the modern day natives of the Veneto region, called Veneti in Italian.

With reference to place occupied by the ancient Veneti as prior to their incorporation by Romans is yet uncertain. There area was earlier included into the Cisalpine Gaul, that later on developed as the tenth region of Italy. It was surrounded on the west by the Athesis (Adige), as according to others, by the Addua (Adda); on the north by the Alps; on the east by the Timavus (Timavo river in Friuli-Venezia Giulia) and on the south by the Adriatic.

As for the origins of the Veneti there is not a uniform view among scholars and it is the topic of much debate. Many historians link them to the Illyrians. An expert at the language of the Veneti, Karl Pauli. They described the language as primarily related to that of the Illyrians than any other language. Roman historian Titus Livius, himself was a native of the Veneti town of Patavium, and he claimed that Trojan leader Antenor, along with a large number of Paphlagonians were been expelled from their homeland by a revolution, migrated to the northern end of the Adriatic coast, where they later merged with indigenous people known as the Euganei. According to another famous historian Strabo has referred Adriatic Veneti as to be same person as the Celtic tribe of the same name that formerly lived at the Belgian coast and fought against Julius Caesar.
