<p>Who were the Veneti? This is not an easy question to answer.</p>
|
|
<h3>Baltic Veneti</h3>
|
|
<p>The <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula_Veneti" target="_blank">Vistula Veneti</a></em>
|
|
were called <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wends" target="_blank">Wends</a></em>,
|
|
by German-speaking people. But another theory is that <em>Veneti</em> is a diminutization
|
|
of <em>venus</em>, as per Latin origins. And for further confusion, Slavs living
|
|
near Germanic settlements were also called <em>Wends</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>Vistula Veneti</em> hailed from Eastern Poland.</p>
|
|
<h3>Adriatic Veneti</h3>
|
|
<p>The <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriatic_Veneti" target="_blank">Adriatic Veneti</a></em>
|
|
lived in a region that we now identify as "the area around Venice".
|
|
Indeed, this area is known by the name
|
|
<em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneto" target="_blank">Veneto</a></em>,
|
|
or <em>Venetia</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>Strabo, the Greek historian, conjectures that the <em>Adriatic Veneti</em> are
|
|
related to the Veneti of Brittany.</p>
|
|
<h3>Breton Veneti</h3>
|
|
<p>The <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneti_(Gaul)" target="_blank">Veneti</a></em>
|
|
of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany" target="_blank">Breton Peninsula</a>,
|
|
were a tribe of Gauls which were defeated by
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimus_Junius_Brutus_Albinus" target="_blank">Julius Brunus Albinus</a>,
|
|
in a
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimus_Junius_Brutus_Albinus#During_the_Wars" target="_blank">naval battle in 56 BC</a>,
|
|
as part of Julius
|
|
Caesar's campaign to pacify Gaul.</p>
|
|
<p>Part of the drama here was that the
|
|
Veneti were experienced in operating on the ocean, whereas the Romans
|
|
would have only ever known the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
|
|
In particular, ships sailed by the Veneti were faster than the Roman ships.</p>
