238 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. 



Triumpilini. The whole of the revolted Perscli, from Eporedia, 

 Brixia, Ateste, and Yicetia, with the Yocontii, who dwelt about 

 Vercellae, responded. Herti summoned the faithful tribes of Ij ovine 

 or the race of Feinne, to the relief of Cremona, and apparently suc- 

 ceeded in raising the siege, though in his rhetoric he forgets to state 

 the fact. 



Taking advantage of Gallic dissentions, the Genoese of Liguria 

 either took Placentia, or taking possession of the surrounding coun- 

 try, besieged it. Herti, alluding to this result of disunion, sum- 

 moned the Ticinates and the faithful Fenians to aid him in deliver- 

 ing this city from its invaders. He next turned his attention to 

 Bergomum which was similarly besieged by the rebellious Perscli. 

 Through the loyal Boii, he succeeded in winning back Yerona. Tlie 

 people of this city and Yannia endeavoured to get Arnipo, — the Na- 

 hepara of the Etruscan Tables, who had been sent from Umbranum 

 in the country of the Boii to quell I'ebellion in Yenetia, but who 

 had himself rebelled — to join them in loyalty. He refused to do 

 so, and going westward tried to incite the people of Comum to deeds 

 of violence. The example of Yerona, however, was contagious and 

 many disloyal tribes even among the Perscli and the Cenomani, re- 

 turned to their allegiance. The original inhabitants of Bononia and 

 the Claternians gave assistance. 



Appei made his way towards the Apuan border, and Anovi-himu, 

 the Annovi-gabe of the Etruscan Tables, whom Herti ordered to re- 

 pel the invasion of Appei, was won over by the rebel general. Thus 

 the Albans were added to Umbria's enemies. Yet Bobium, the 

 Apuans, and the lord of Compiano remained faithful. Herti pro- 

 tected the Ligurian border by the Etruscan forces, and by the Trian 

 tribe about Clastidium. He placed the Anamani in Umbra- 

 num to guard the Umbrian border proper, and sent the Umbranians 

 to guard the Yenetian border at Patavium. As a reward for their 

 loyalty, he granted independent union to the Anamani, ^dui and 

 Unibranici. In the Table he enumei-ates fourteen loyal tribes, half 

 of whom seem to have dwelt in Liguria, and the other half in Yen- 

 etia and Transpadana. 



After this, he turned his attention to Yenetia where the Populon- 

 ians were carrying on war with the aid of the Adrians and Fiscag- 

 iians ; while the Salluvii, Marici, and Albans in Western Transpadana
