Aequi tribe - Aequi tribe (English spelling)

Japanese: アエクイ族 - アエクイぞく（英語表記）Aequi

A tribe of Osci (Osci people) who lived in the mountainous region of central Italy in the 1st millennium BC. They had been planning to invade Latium for some time, and in the 5th century BC, they advanced as far as Tusculum, Labicum, and Algidus, and often clashed with Rome along with the Volsci. In the end, Rome won the battle in 304 BC, and after the war, Roman colonies (Alba Fucens, Calcioli) were built on the former site of the Aequi. Some of them continued to exist under the name of Aequicri. [Ryuichi Hirata]

前1千年紀，中央イタリアの山岳地帯に居住したオスキ系(オスキ人)の種族。つとにラティウム地方への侵入を企て，前5世紀にはトゥスクルム，ラビクム，アルギドゥスまで進出し，ウォルスキ族とともにしばしばローマと衝突した。結局，前304年の戦いでローマが勝利を収め，戦後アエクイの故地にはローマの植民市(アルバ･フケンス，カルシオリ)が建設された。彼らの一部はアエクイクリの名でその後も存続した。【平田隆一】
