The Volsci, short for the Volsci Republic, is a nation on Eurth Situated in northern Europa, it is bordered by Deltannia to the north-west, Vetok to the south-west, and Karthenia and Paranoid Schizo to the south-east. Historically, they were among the most dangerous enemies of ancient Arhome.
Etymology
Most modern etymologists regard the tribal name Uolscae as being related to Pynglish: gwalch (hawk); perhaps related on the Proto-Indo-Europan level to East-Arhoman falco (hawk).
Compare the Volscian personal name Catolcus to Pynglish cadwalch ('hero' or 'battle-hawk'), though some prefer to translate Sabellic *uolco- as 'wolf' and, by semantic extension, 'errant warrior'.
History
The early Volsci were a hill tribe, well known in the history of the first century of the Aroman Empire. At the time they inhabited the partly hilly, partly marshy district of the south of Antium. For several centuries the Volsci were amongst the most dangerous rivals of ancient Aroma. They repeatedly allied with their neighbours in opposition to the Aromans.
In 270 CE the tribal confederation invaded a nearby province of the Aroman Empire. They fought the assembled Aromans at the Battle of Cryophobae. Volscian tribes remained in the area, blending into the nomadic identities of steppe cultures.
