VESTINI

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1056 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VESTINI , an ancient Sabine tribe which occupied the eastern and northern bank of the Aternus in central
Italy
 , entered into the Roman alliance, retaining its own independence, in 304 B.C., and issuing coins of its own in the following
century
 . A northerly
section
  round Amiternum near the passes into Sabine country probably received the Caerite franchise soon after. In spite of this, and of the
influence
  of
Hadria
 , a Latin colony founded about 290 B.C. (Livy, Epit. xi.), the local dialect, which belongs to the north Oscan group, survived certainly to the middle of the 2nd
century
  B.e. (see the
inscriptions
  cited below) and probably until the Social War. The oldest Latin
inscriptions
  of the
district
  are C.I.L. ix. 3521, from Furfo with Sullan
alphabet
 , and 3574, " litteris antiquissimis," but with couraverunt, a form which, as inter-mediate between coir- or coo.- and cur-, cannot be earlier than 100 B.C. (see LATIN LANGUAGE). The latter inscription contains also the forms magist[rles (nom. pl.) and ueci (gen. sing.), which show that the Latin first spoken by the Vestini was not that of Rome, but that of their neighbours the Marsi and Aequi (qq.v.). The inscription of Scoppito shows that at the time at which it was written the upper Aternus valley must be counted Vestine, not Sabine, in point of dialect.
See further PAELIGNI and SABINI, and for the inscriptions and further details, R. S. Conway, The
Italic
  Dialects, pp. 258 if., on which this article is based. (R. S. C.)
