 Tuscia Viterbese - Versione testuale - I Falisci
Oltre agli Etruschi i Falisci si sono stanziati in tempi antichissimi in quella fascia che va dal Tevere fino a Nepi e Capena, avendo come capitale Falerii, l'odierna Civita Castellana (Vt).
Come accennato, il ceppo linguistico dei Falisci ricade nell'area indoeuropea, in cui sono comprese altre lingue dell'Italia antica tra cui il latino: le due parlate infatti hanno una radice comune "protolatina" che risale a periodi molto antichi, presumibilmente all'età del Bronzo (II millennio a.C.) in cui latini e falisci vivevano in un territorio comune.
Le vessazioni romane, soprattutto amministrative e fiscali, inducono i Falisci a nuove ribellioni che hanno il tragico epilogo nella distruzione di Falerii (241 a.C.): la città viene rasa al suolo e gli abitanti, privati dei loro averi e di buona parte del territorio, sono costretti a trasferirsi in una nuova sede, Falerii novi appunto.

L'ultimo atto andò in scena al tempo della I guerra punica allorché i Falisci, approfittando dell'impegno dei Romani nella campagna contro i Cartaginesi, tentarono l'ennesima ribellione al potere romano che causò l'eccidio di circa 15.000 Falisci e la distruzione della città.
