History
The ancient Oscan tribe of eastern Italy, the Paeligni, is first mentioned in historical sources in the fourth century BC, when they opposed Rome during the Second Samnite War. The Paeligni came into alliance with Rome at the end of the fourth century BC, but again took sides against Rome in the Social War.
