	Faliscan language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Faliscan was the closest language to Latin, and that was not fortunate for it, because it was the first to be assimilated and to disappear from the map of Italy.
		Faliscans occupied a small land north and east to Rome and were under Etruscan influence for a long time until their two or three cities (Falerii, Faliscus and Ferentinus) were colonized by Romans.
		Faliscan vocabulary is mainly cognate with Latin with strong Etruscan substratum.

	Falisci
		In spite of the Etruscan domination, the Faliscans preserved many traces of their Italic origin, such as the worship of the deities Juno Quiritis[?] (Ovid, Fasti, VI.
		A large number of inscriptions consisting mainly of proper names may be regarded as Etruscan rather than Faliscan, and they have been disregarded in the account of the dialect just given.
		It should perhaps be mentioned that there was a town Feronia in Sardinia, named probably after their native goddess by Faliscan settlers, from some of whom we have a votive inscription found at S Maria di Falleri.

		The culture of the Faliscans, Etruria’s nearest neighbors, was distinct from but closely related to that of the Etruscans.
		Their abundant contents reveal the gradual enrichment of Etruscan and Faliscan art with new materials, techniques, and images brought from the eastern Mediterranean.
		Their wives were buried with riches and symbols of their own prowess as weavers that show they shared their husbands’ high status and some of their authority.

	Civita Castellana, Italy
		In 241 B.C. the Faliscan town, known to the Romans as Falerii Veteres, was destroyed by Roman forces and the inhabitants transferred to a new settlement at Falerii Novi, from which they later returned.
		In a commanding situation to the west of the town stands the Citadel, built by Pope Alexander VI in 1494-1500 to the design of Antonio da Sangallo the Elder; in the large arcaded courtyard are decorative paintings by the Zuccaro brothers (16th century).
		The Citadel houses the Archeological Museum of the Faliscan Territory.

		The most important of these were Latin, Faliscan, Oscan, and Umbrian; Latin was the only one to survive antiquity (see Latin language).
		From Latin are derived the Romance languages, which in turn comprise the second (or medieval and modern) group of the Italic subfamily; they include Catalan, Sardinian, French, Italian, Portuguese, Occitan, Rhaeto-Romanic, Romanian, and Spanish.
		Faliscan, which is closely related to Latin, was once prevalent in an area in S Etruria, which is N of Rome.

	Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising - Community
		Set in a wooded area on the eastern fringes of Caere Bay and reached by small paths that are heavily guarded by Roman forces, it is the most logical place for a newly-arrived Hero to begin his or her campaigning in the area.
		The Faliscan rebels moved up to Lachesis Fold after the Romans took control of Caere, and it’s safe to say that this is where they’re training the new recruits with which they plan to take back the city.
		The Faliscan insurgents’ main camp is located west of Feralis Hollow in the Tyrsenos Highlands, which is named after the Faliscan Warlord Tyrsenos, who gave his life to provide his fellow Faliscan freedom fighters the time to evacuate Caere with their forces intact.

		Various Indo-European languages belonging to the Italic branch (Faliscan and members of the Sabellian group, including Oscan, Umbrian, and South Picene, and other Indo-European branches such as Venetic and Messapic) originally used the alphabet.
		Faliscan, Oscan, Umbrian, North Picene, and South Picene all derive from an Etruscan form of the alphabet.
		The Germanic runic alphabet was most likely derived from one of these alphabets in about the 2nd century.

	Summer terracotta course in Calcata, Italy - Metamorphosi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Between the end of the 8th Century and the beginning of the 7th Century B.C. artifacts of reddish clay similar to bucchero, predominate, with ornate mouldings, incisions and reliefs: the large holmoi, used for mixing wine, and the kantharoi.
		The products which emerge from the Faliscan workshops (hydriai, kylikes, oinochoai, stamnoi, skyphoi, aiyballoi, bell-shaped or column-shaped crateri) are of high-quality workmanship, for example the stamnos of the Painter of Diespater, the oinochoe with the Amazzonomachia and the Death of Atteone, the cratere depicting Kephalos kidnapped by Aurora.

		During ancient times the town was influenced by the neighboring Etruscan, Faliscan and Latin cultures.
		This road, which improved on an older road, was the shortest route between Rome and Umbria passing through Faliscan and Etruscan territory.
		Relations with the nearby southern Etruscan, Latian and especially the Faliscan areas became stronger and more evident, as is demonstrated by the importing of pottery and architectural terracottas at the Pantanelli sanctuary, where the Faliscan style dominates.

		It was found together with a large quantity of other pottery in a tomb at Cività Castellana, ancient Falerii, and dates to about 675-625 BC.
		The territory inhabited by the Faliscans was west of the Tiber on the south-eastern borders of Etruria, and Cività Castellana was the largest Faliscan town.
		The Etruscans strongly influenced the Faliscans, who also absorbed various elements of Greek culture.

		It dawned on her that the CUA vase was not southern Italian but Etruscan — Faliscan, to be precise.
		Among existing Etruscan red-figure pottery, Faliscan vases are the finest, according to an article by Professor Safran scheduled to appear in an upcoming issue of the journal Etruscan Studies.
		Professor Safran describes the CUA krater “as a high-quality addition to the existing corpus of Faliscan vases.” It brings to seven the number of calyx kraters attributed to a talented but mysterious craftsman known only as the Nazzano Painter, whose work dates to the first half of the fourth century B.C., according to the article.

	Maps of Indo-European Languages-Osco-Umbrian
		Oscan (the lower right circle) was the language spoken by the Samnites and the tribes of the southern Italian peninsula except for the extreme projections of Italy's "heel" and "toe." Both the Oscan and Umbrian languages were very similar to Latin.
		At least two other Indo-European linguistic groups, the Faliscans and Sabellians (or Sabines), may have inhabited the Italian peninsula, along with non-Indo-European races like the Etruscans, who for a long time ruled over the Roman region of Latium.
		Etruscan then died out as a language; Faliscan, Oscan, and Umbrian were probably absorbed into the new Latin-speaking entity, which, under the Roman Empire, spread across Europe.

		Languages in Iron Age Italy, 6th century BC The Latino-Faliscan languages are a group of languages that belong to the Italic language family of the Indo-European languages.
		Latin eventually absorbed the others, replacing Faliscan as the power of the Romans expanded.
		The only member of the group to survive extinction was Latin, which in turn, via Vulgar Latin, developed into the Romance languages.

	Menrfa, the Etruscan Goddess of the Mind--Menrva Minerva Wisdom Goddess Arts Goddess Inventor Goddess Etruscan Goddess ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, within the area of Etruria were a tribe of people called the Faliscans, whose capitol city of Falerii (the modern Cività Castellana) was a cult-center of Menrfa.
		The Faliscans spoke a dialect closely related to Latin, though they were Etruscan enough that Falerii was considered one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan federation, and so my guess is that "Menrfa" is a Faliscan word, that looks Latin because Faliscan is so closely related.
		When Falerii was captured by Rome in 241 BCE, the worship of their Menrfa was brought to Rome as Minerva Capta ("Minerva the Captive", probably referring to the physical transfer of Her cult-statue to Rome).

	Buck's Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian: Introduction
		The Latin-Faliscan comprises the Latin, of which there were local variations in the different towns of Latium, and the Faliscan, spoken in the Faliscan plain in the southeastern part of Etruria.
		O. Mener, if, as is probable, an abbreviation of a form corresponding to L. Minervium, shows that the Oscan, like the Etruscan, name of the divinity was borrowed, together with the cult, from a dialect in which rhotacism took place (*Menes-uā).
		Though the cult of Minerva may have originated among the Faliscans, as many suppose, it probably reached the Oscans through the medium of the Romans, but at a time when the Latin form was still Menerva (CIL.
