 | |
|     <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 particulary, ships sailed by the Veneti were faster than the Roman ships.</p>
