Mercenary Umbrian Defenders
Fine spearmen from the Umbrian heartland can be hired if the price is right.The Umbri were an ancient mountain tribe from small, hilltop settlements along the central Apennines. Roman writers considered them to be more Gallic than Italic, but the Umbri's contact with the neighbouring Etruscan cities brought them closer to civilisation in their habits and level of technology. The Gallic newcomers and some ambitious Etruscan campaigns eventually forced the Umbri to migrate southward. According to Pliny the Elder, the Etruscans conquered three hundred Umbrian towns along their eastern border. Despite this loss of territory, the Umbri seem to have thrived, founding a number of settlements on high hills, which were naturally easy to defend and difficult to assault. Umbrians were never as aggressive as any of the neighbouring tribes, but nonetheless survived multiple invasions until their final absorption into the Roman Republic in 260BC.
