The Roman Period
During the third century B. C. , the Veneti, together with the Cenomani Celts on their western border, sided with the Romans as Rome expanded and struggled against the Insubri and Boii Celts. The Veneti ( Enetoi Ενετοί in Greek) were an ancient people who inhabited north-eastern Italy, in an area corresponding to the modern-day The Cenomani ( Greek:, Strabo, Ptol;, Polyb) was an ancient tribe of the Cisalpine Gauls who occupied the tract north of the Padus Celts (ˈkɛlts or /ˈsɛlts/, see Names of the Celts Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC Boii ( Latin plural singular Boius; Greek) is the Roman name of an ancient Celtic tribe, attested at various Celts (ˈkɛlts or /ˈsɛlts/, see Names of the Celts During the Second Punic War (218 B.

For the 11th century battle in the Byzantine conquest of the Mezzogiorno, see Battle of Cannae (1018. C. ). In 181 B. C. , a Roman triumvirate of Publius Scipio Nasica, Caius Flaminius, and Lucius Manlius Acidinus led three thousand families, mainly from Samnium but supplemented by native Veneti, to found a Latin colony at Aquileia as a base to protect the territory of the Veneti from incursions of the hostile Carni and Istri.

Thus, in 169 B. C. more colonizing families were sent from Rome to Aquileia. In 148 B. C. the Via Postumia was completed connecting Aquileia to Genua. The Via Postumia was an ancient highroad of northern Italy constructed in 148 BC by the Consul Spurius Postumius Albinus. In 131 B. C. , the Via Annia joined Adria to Patavium to Altinum to Concordia to Aquileia. Gradually, the Roman Republic transformed its alliance with the Veneti into a relationship of dominance. The Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a Republican form of government a period which began with the overthrow of the After the 91 B. C. Italic rebellion, the cities of the Veneti, together with the rest of Transpadania, were granted partial rights of Roman citizenship according to the Lex Pompeia Transpadanis. Later in 49 B. C. , by the Lex Rubria de Gallia Rome granted full Roman citizenship to the Veneti. Such citizens would have benefitted from the Via Claudia completed in 46 B. C. and connecting Altinum to Tarvisium to Feltria to Tridentum (modern Trento). [From Tridentum it continued north to Pons Drusus and south through Verona to Mutina (modern Modena). ] After the Battle of Philippi (42 B. C. ), which ended the Roman Civil War, the lands of the Veneti, together with the rest of Cisalpine Gaul, ceased to be a province and the territory of the Veneti, which included modern Friuli, became region X (Venetia et Istria) of a new entity named Italia (Italy).

Other Venetic cities such as Opitergium (modern Oderzo), Tarvisium (modern Treviso), Feltria (modern Feltre), Vicetia (modern Vicenza), Ateste (modern Este), and Altinum (modern Altino) prospered and Romanized adopting the Latin language and Roman culture.
