[edit] The Western Veneti

The Western Veneti inhabited southern Aremorica, along the Morbihan bay. They built their strongholds on coastal eminences, which were islands when the tide was in, and peninsulas when the tide was out. Their most notable city, and probably their capital, was Darioritum (now known as Vannes), mentioned in Ptolemy's Geography.

As a seafaring people, the Veneti built their ships of oak, with large transoms fixed by iron nails of a thumb's thickness, and navigated and powered their ships through the use of leather sails. This left their ships strong, sturdy, and structurally sound, capable of resisting the Atlantic winds and waves.

[edit] The Eastern Veneti

The Veneti (Enetoi Ενετοί in Greek) were an ancient people who inhabited north-eastern Italy, in an area corresponding to the modern-day region of the Veneto. They spoke Venetic, an independent Indo-European language, which is attested in approximately 300 short inscriptions dating from 6th to 1st centuries BC. Venetic appears to share several similarities with Latin and the Italic languages, but also has some affinities with other IE languages, especially Germanic as well as Celtic.Almoustine 23:19, 27 August 2008 (EEST)
