AEQUI

The Aequi were an Italian race subdued by the Romans and their lands annexed between 471 and 302 BC. The Aequi were conspicuous in the early wars of Rome, and inhabiting the mountain district between the upper valley of the Anio (Teverone) and Lake Fucmus. They were probably akin to the Yolscians, with whom they were in constant alliance. They were defeated by Cincinnatus in 458 BC, and again by the dictator Postumus Tubertus in 428 BC, and were finally subdued about 302 BC. Soon after they were admitted to Roman citizenship.
