Iapygian tribe which inhabited northern Apulia in classical antiquity
Daunian pot, Terracotta, Subgeometric style (Daunian II), 550-400 BC
The Daunians (Latin: Daunii) were an Iapygian tribe that inhabited northern Apulia in classical antiquity.[1] Two other Iapygian tribes, the Peucetians and the Messapians, inhabited central and southern Apulia respectively. All three tribes spoke the Messapic language, but had developed separate archaeological cultures by the seventh century BC.[2]
The Daunians lived in the Daunia region, which extended from the Daunian Mountains river in the southeast to the Gargano peninsula in the northwest.[3] This region is mostly coincident with the Province of Foggia and part of Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani today. Daunians and Oscans came into contact in northern Daunia and southern Samnite regions. Gradually, parts of northern Daunia became "Oscanized".[4][5][6]
