	PICENUM - LoveToKnow Article on PICENUM
		At the end of the 2nd century A.D. the north-eastern portion of Umbria was divided from the rest and acquired the name Flaminia, from the high road.
		For the time it remained united with Umbria for administrative purposes, but passed to Picenum at latest in the time of Constantine, and acquired the name of Flaminia et Picenum Annonarium, the main portion of Picenum being distinguished as Suburbicarium.
		When the exarchate of Ravenna was founded the part of Picenum Annonarium near the sea became the Pentapolis Maritima, which included the five cities of Ariminum, Pisaurum, Fanum Fortunae, Sena Gallica and Ancona.

	Pompeius Strabo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo (died 87 BC), whose cognomen means "Squinty", is often referred to in English as Pompey Strabo to distinguish him from Strabo the geographer.

		After his consulship and the war, Strabo retired to Picenum with all of his veteran soldiers.

		Cnaeus Pompeius was born on 29 September 106 B.C. in the rural, northern region of Picenum.
		That he was of a somewhat provincial background tained him throughout his political career as he competed against the most powerful patricians of Roma: a career which was compromised by the lack of a long senatorial pedigree.
		After Sulla's death Pompey was viewed as the most serious threat to the Republic by the senators who must have been terrified of him as a warlord with kingly ambitions: he was a skillful general who had twice refused to disband his armies.

		This force ought to be the legion assigned to this region in 214 and not one of the new ones.
		But, although the number of legions stationed on the island is not recorded before this date, the successful campaign of T. Manlius Torquatus in the previous year makes it unlikely that one of the new legions would be assigned to the island to augment the Roman forces already stationed there.

		Fluent in Greek and a lifelong and intimate friend of Greek literati, he must have had the normal education of a young Roman nobleman; but his early experience on the staff of his father, Pompeius Strabo, did much to form his character, develop his military capabilities, and arouse his political ambition.
		The family possessed lands in Picenum, in eastern Italy, and a numerous body of clients, which Strabo greatly enlarged in the year of his consulship.
		A report that he was “missing” in Cinna's army, when it was embarking for the Balkans to deal with Sulla, led to the lynching of Cinna by his troops in 84.

	Biography of Titus Labienus, Caesar’s Lieutenant in Gaul
		Pompey’s extensive clientage in Picenum must therefore be a factor in evaluating Labienus’ career, especially in view of the events of January 49.
		This does not prove that Caesar’s enemies solicited him from the purpose of turning Pompey’s eyes to Italy.[28] But it does show that Pompey did not take part in the negotiations, for it is unlikely that he would have kept his strategy secret from a military man of Labienus’ stature.
		The date for the extension of the tribe to Picenum is in question (Taylor, VDRR 64 with note 66).

		North of the Sabines and of Picenum, and east of the Etruscans, was Umbria, reaching up the Adriatic seaboard as far north as Ravenna and bisected, at the time we shall visit it, by the Via Flaminia.
		One has an instinctive sympathy for the Umbrians because from the time we begin to know them, they are always the under dog in the clash of races, the plaything of circumstances.
		Some of the finest early imperial sculptures in the Vatican were found here, including the famous Jupiter of Otricoli, so long thought to represent the Pheidian type of the god.

		The corps in Alba, 3000 strong, and 1500 recruits assembled in Tarracina thereupon laid down their arms, as soon as Caesar's patrols of horsemen appeared; a third division in Sulmo of 3500 men had been previously compelled to surrender.
		Pompeius had given up Italy as lost, so soon as Caesar had occupied Picenum; only he wished to delay his embarkation as long as possible, with the view of saving so much of his force as could still be saved.

		In the beginning of this war, in which the Romans sometimes obtained remarkable victories, sometimes were shamefully beaten, nothing was done toward the determination of the contest until Flaminius and Furius, being consuls, led large forces against the Insubrians.
		At the time of their departure, the river that runs through the country of Picenum was seen flowing with blood; there was a report that three moons had once been seen at Ariminum; and, in the consular assembly, the augurs declared that the consuls had been unduly and inauspiciously created.
		The senate, therefore, immediately sent letters to the camp, recalling the consuls to Rome with all possible speed, and commanding them to forbear from acting against the enemies, and to abdicate the consulship on the first opportunity.
