The Faliscans were an ancient Italic people who lived in the region of Falisci, located in central Italy, near modern-day Falerii. They spoke the Faliscan language, which is closely related to Latin and reflects the cultural influences of neighboring tribes. The Faliscans were known for their agricultural practices and their contributions to early Roman civilization. The Faliscans had a significant city called Falerii, which served as a political and cultural center. They were eventually absorbed into the expanding Roman Republic during the late 4th century BCE. Their integration into Rome marked the end of their distinct identity, but their legacy remains in the historical and linguistic studies of ancient Italy.
