		The name Paezigni may belong to the NO-class of Ethnica (see Sabini), but the difference that it has no vowel before the suffix suggests that it may rather be parallel with the suffix of Lat.
		But, when unsupported by direct evidence, even the most tempting etymology is an unsafe guide.

	Abruzzo History III
		According to Strabo their common origin was proved by the frequent communications, the similar customs, forms of government and religion, and the main current of thought nowadays follows him in considering the Vestini as derived from the Umbrians-Samnites of sentral Italy.
		They did not write their name in history and their wars were confused with the wars of the nearby Marsi, Paeligni, Marrucini and Frentani, to whom they were always allied; and if it was not for the wars, maybe we would not know anything today about them.
		In the west and the south the Apennines divided them from the Marsi andpartly from Samnium and finally the Maiella was the boundary with the Marrucini.

		They were accustomed to hunt animals and covered themselves, like the Marrucini and Frentani, with the skins of bears, then abundant in the Apennines.
		According to these boundaries, which are derived from the three populations united in the Paelina alliance, that is the Superequani, the Corfinienses and Sulmonenses, so called from their three main towns and, according to the boundaring populations, it is clear that the Paeligni occupied the districts of Sulmona, Popoli, Scanno, Pratola, Acciano and partly Pescina.
		From this treaty the second period in the history of the Paeligni begins, when they were often associated to the Romans, especially in the two famous Samnitic wars and in the Punic war.

		The latter statement is certainly inaccurate; and Strabo distinctly tells us, that the Marrucini held the right bank of the Aternus down to its mouth, while the Vestini possessed the left bank (v.
		On the west they were probably not separated from the Samnites by any well-marked natural boundary, but occupied the lower slopes of the Apennines as well as the hilly country extending from thence to the sea, while the more lofty and central ridges of the mountains were included in Samnium.
		The Frentani are expressly termed by Strabo a Samnite people, and he appears to distinguish them as such from the neighbouring tribes of the Marrucini, Peligni, and Vestini, with whom they had otherwise much in common.

		Only those among them who had been granted the Roman citizenship were able to take advantage of the new wealth and power, whereas those who did not enjoy the status of Roman citizens were kept in a state of great economic and social inferiority.
		This was the start of that war that was later to be called "bellum sociale" (the social war).
		In 88 BC the social war ended and the Marrucini, Frentani, Marsi, Peligni and the other peoples of Abruzzo and Samnium were incorporated among the Roman tribes.

		From the 5th century, following the passage from monarchy to Republic, the Sabines must already have been structured into ethnic states, corresponding to the various peoples mentioned by Latin and Greek sources: Peligni, Marrucini, Vestini, Marsi, Pretuzi, Equi and Samnites.

		The administrative boundaries of the Roman municipia were then adopted in order to mark out the borders of the mediaeval dioceses in the area, which lay within the duchy of Benevento.

		To its lot therefore fell the foremost place and the heaviest burden in the struggle for freedom and nationality which the Italians had to wage against Rome.
		It might reckon upon the assistance of the small Sabellian tribes, the Vestini, Frentani, Marrucini, and other smaller cantons, who dwelt in rustic seclusion amidst their mountains, but were not deaf to the appeal of a kindred stock calling them to take up arms in defence of their common possessions.
		From the Sabines and the Marsi, who were the nearest neighbours of the Romans and had long lived in peaceful relations with Rome, little more could be expected than lukewarm sympathy or neutrality.

		The Latins were a part of the Italic tribes who were part of an Indo-European group that spoke the same language when they first entered Italy, or at least that's the current theory I believe.
		Some of the related tribes were Vestini, Paeligni, Marrucini, Marsi, Aequi, Volsci, and Sabini.
		Not always friendly, they became allies of the Romans--after a long struggle--with tribes like the Marrucini supplying legions that I've read somewhere were the equal of the Romans.
