Peucetians

The Peucetians (Ancient Greek: Πευκέτιοι Peukétioi; Latin:Peucetii) were a tribe who were living in Apulia, southern Italy, in the country of Peucetia around modern Bari. Other names are the Poedicli and the Pediculans. They are traditionally one of the tribes of the Iapygian civilization. They had three important towns: Canosa, Silvium and Bitonto; the present capital of Apulia, Bari, had not much importance.
