 | | It was bounded to the west by Etruria (across the Tiber), to the south by Sabine territory and to the east (toward the Adriatic) by Picenum and the Ager Gallicus, a coastal strip settled for a time by the Gauls as an extension of their dominions in northern ITaly (Cisalpine Gaul). |
 | | The Umbrians, who were subdivided into tribes as well as into townships made only insignificant attempts to help the Samnites against encroachment by the Romans, who built the Via Flaminia through their country in 220, and in 200 gave them part of the reconquered Ager Gallicus. |
 | | Under Augustus (31 BC-AD 14), Umbria and the Ager Gallicus constituted the Sixth Region of Italy, and in the later empire there was a district or province of Tuscia et Umbria (later Tuscia Suburbicaria), including the western portion of Umbria, while its eastern part belonged to the district of Flaminia et Picenum Annonarium. |
