CHAP. 19. (14.) — THE SIXTH EEaiON OE ITALY. 
Adjoining to this is the sixth region, which includes Um- 
"bria and the Gallic territory in the vicinity of Ariminum. 
At Ancona begins the coast of that part of Graul known as 
Gallia Togata'^. The Siculi and the Liburni possessed the 
greater part of this district, and more particularly the terri- 
tories of Palma, of Prsetutia, and of Adria. These were 
expelled by the Umbri, these again by the Etrurians, and 
these in their turn by the Gauls. The Umbri are thought 
to have been the most ancient race in Italy, it being sup- 
posed that they were called " Ombrii" by the Greeks, from the ' 
fact of their having survived the rains ^ which had inundated 
* The modern city of Osimo stands on the site of Auximum, about 
twelve miles south-west of Ancona. Numerous inscriptions, statues, and 
other remains have been found there. 
2 Cluver conjectures that Beregra stood at Civitella di Tronto, ten 
miles north of Teramo ; but nothing further relative to it is known. Cin- 
gulum was situate on a lofty mountain ; the modem town of Cragoli 
occupies its site. 
" The mountaineers." They inhabited Cupra Montana, which is sup- 
posed to have stood on the same site as the modern Ripa Transone. 
^ The people of Falaria or Faleria. There are considerable remains of 
this town about a mile from the village of Falerona, among which a 
theatre and amphitheatre are most conspicuous. The remains of Pausula 
are supposed to be those seen on the Monte dell' Olmo. The towTi of 
the Kicinenses is supposed to have been on the banks of the Potenza, 
two miles from Macerata, where some remains were to be seen in the 
seventeenth century. 
^ Septempeda is supposed to have occupied the site of the modern San 
Severino, on the river Potenza. ToUentinum or Tollentum was probably 
on the site of the modern Tolentino. The town of the Treienses is sup- 
posed to have occupied a site near the modern San Severino, in the vici- 
nity of Montecchio. 
^ A colony of the people of Pollentia was estabhshed at Urbs Salvia, 
occupying the site of the modern TJrbisagha on the bank of the Chiento. 
7 CJisalpine Gaul was so called because the inhabitants adopted the use 
of the Roman toga. 
8 This fanciful derivation would make their name to come from the 
Grreek o/^jSpos " a shower."
