FRENTANI

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 205 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRENTANI , one of the ancient Samnite tribes which formed an independent community on the
east
 
coast
  of Italy. They entered the Roman alliance after their
capital
 , Frentrum, was taken by the Romans in 305 or 304 B.C. (Livy ix. 16. 45). This town either changed its name or perished some time after the middle of the 3rd
century
  B.C., when it was issuing coins of its own with an Oscan legend. The town Larinum, which belonged to the same
people
  (Pliny, Nat. Hist. 103), became latinized before 200 B.C., as its coins of that epoch
bear
  a legendLARINOR(VM)which cannot reasonably be treated as any-thing but Latin. Several Oscan
inscriptions
  survive from the neighbourhood of Vasto (anc. Histonium), which was in the Frentane area.
On the forms of the name, and for further details see R.S.Conway,
Italic
  Dialects, p. 206 ff and p. 212: for the coins id. No. 195-196.
