Sentences with OSCANS (5)
And, in fact, Mamurius Veturius appears to have been driven away to the land of the Oscans, the enemies of Rome.
Thus the Romans owed the first idea of a play to the Etruscans, of the effusions of a sportive humour to the Oscans, and of a higher class of dramatic works to the Greeks.
Other innovations were the doubling of vowels to denote length, a device employed by the Oscans and introduced at Rome by the poet Accius, though Quintilian [5] implies that it was known before his time, and the doubling of consonants which was adopted from, the Greek by Ennius.
One of these is commonly known by the name of Oscans; another consisted of two branches, the Sabelians or Sabines, and the Umbrians; the third was called Sikeli, sometimes Vituli or Itali.
All the country to the south was in possession of the Oscans, with the exception of Latium, which was inhabited by the Sikeli.
