The Umbrians in 218 B.C.

The Umbrians — Roman Republic › Socii (Italic Allies).

East of the Tiber and along the western flank of the Apennines live the Umbrians, a cluster of mountain and valley towns — Iguvium, Asisium, Tuder, Mevania — that came over to Rome without lasting resistance. Loyal and dependable, they furnish steady infantry to the alae sociorum, and Camerinum among them holds a rare treaty of equals (foedus aequum) with Rome.
