BOOK III.] History of Nature. J93 



Nations which reached from the Upper Sea to the Nether, 

 were reduced under the Empire of the People of Rome. The 

 Alpine Nations subdued: Triumpilini, Camuni, Vennonetes, 

 Isarci, Breuni, Naunes, and Focunates. Of the Vindelici 

 four Nations: the Consuanetes, Virucinates, Licates, and 

 Catenates. The Abisontes, Rugusce, Suanetes, Calucones, 

 Brixentes, Lepontii, Viberi, Nantuates, Seduni, Veragri, 

 Salad, Acitavones, Medulli, Uceni, Caturiges, Brigiani, 

 Sogiontiiy Ebroduntii, Nemaloni, Edenates, Esubiani, Veamini, 

 Gallitce, Triulatti, Ectini, Vergunni, Eguituri, Nementuri, 

 Oratelli, Nerusivelauni, Suetri. There were not reckoned 

 among these the twelve Cottian Cities, which were not in 

 any Hostility, nor yet those which were assigned to the 

 Municipii by virtue of the Law Pouipeia. This is that 

 Italy sacred to the Gods, these are her Nations, and these 

 be the Towns of the People. And more than this, that 

 Italy which, when L. JEnilius Paulus and Caius Attilius 

 Regulus were Consuls, upon news of a Tumult of the Gauls, 

 alone, without any Foreign aids, and without any Nations 

 beyond the Padus, armed 80,000 Horsemen and 700,000 

 Foot. In plenty of all Metals it giveth place to no Land 

 whatsoever. But it is forbidden to dig any by an old Act 

 of the Senate, commanding to spare Italy. 



CHAPTER XXI. 

 Illyricum. 



THE Nation of the Liburni joineth to Arsia, as far as 

 the River Titius. A Part of it were the Mentores, Hymani, 

 Encheleae, Dudini, and those whom Callimachus nameth 

 Pucetiae. Now, the whole in general is called by one Name, 

 Illyricum. The Names of the Nations are few of them 

 worthy or easy to be spoken. The lapides, and fourteen 

 Cities of the Liburni, resort to the Convention at Scordona : 

 of which it is not irksome to name the Laciniensi, Stulpini, 

 Burnistee, and Albonenses. And in that Convention these 

 Nations following have the Liberty of Italians : the Alutas 

 and Flanates, of whom the Gulf is named: Lopsi, Varubarini,
