Brief Description : An ancient language of the Alban hills of East-central Italy near Rome. The Aequi lived in this area at least as early as the 5th century BC, but after the second Samnite war in 304 BC they were conquered by the Romans and Latinized. The language is very close to Latin, and may be simply a dialect of it. 5th to 3rd centuries BC. Very few texts exist.
