Volsci

Volsci

Volsci (Volsker), großer italischer Volksstamm, wohnte an beiden Ufern des Liris, im Norden durch die Apenninen von den Sammlern geschieden, im Süden durch das Tyrrhenische Meer begrenzt, in der Nachbarschaft der Römer. Sie redeten oskisch u. hatten ihre eigene Religions- u. Stammsage Da nach Alba Longas Fall die Städte Latiums sich einzeln zu schwach gegen Rom fühlten, schlössen sie sich an die V. an; als diese nach langen, tapferen Kämpfen unterworfen wurden, schlugen die Römer ihr Gebiet zu Latium.
