MARRUCINI

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 759 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARRUCINI , an ancient tribe which occupied a small strip of territory round about Teate (mod. Chieti), on the
east
 
coast
  of
Italy
 . It is first mentioned in history as a member of a confederacy with which the Romans came into conflict in the second Samnite War, 325 B.C., and it entered the Roman Alliance as a
separate
  unit at the end of that war (see further PAELIGNI). We know something of the language of the Marrucini from an inscription known as the " Bronze of Rapino," which belongs to about the middle of the 3rd
century
  B.c. It is written in Latin
alphabet
 , but in a dialect which belongs to the North Oscan group (see PAELIGNI). The name of the city or tribe which it gives us is tout marouca, and it mentions also a citadel with the epithet tarincris. Several of its linguistic features, both in vocabulary and in syntax, are of considerable
interest
  to the student of Latin or
Italic
  grammar (e.g. the use of the subjunctive, without any conjunction, to express purpose, a clause prescribing a sacrifice to Ceres being followed immediately by pacr si ut propitia sit). The earliest Latin
inscriptions
  are of Ciceronian date.
The form of the name is of considerable
interest
 , as it shows the suffix -NO- superimposed upon the suffix -CO-, a
change
  which probably indicates some conquest of an earlier tribe by the invading Safini (or Sabini, q.v.).
For further details as to Marrucine
inscriptions
  and place-names see R. S. Conway, The
Italic
  Dialects, p. 253 seq. (R. S. C.)
