Marsaci

The Marsi were an ancient people of Italy, situated east of Rome on the shores of Lake Fucinus. They formed an alliance with Rome in 304 BC, which lasted until the Social War (91 BC onward). This conflict concluded with the Marsi and their allies being granted Roman citizenship. The Marsi worshipped a goddess of healing named Angitia, and their country was associated with witchcraft by the Romans. The tribe's name is derived from the god Mars. There was also an ancient Germanic tribe named Marsi, who were defeated by the Romans in AD 14-16 and subsequently disappeared from historical records. The Marsi also spoke a dialect known as Marsian.123
