What are the early origins of the Pallominy family?

Answer 1

The history of the Pallominy family starts arout 800 BC in the area known today as Lazio in the central and western side of the Italian peninsula. Research has shown that the ethnic origins of the early members of the family are Marsi. The Marsi was an early group of people that lived in the Lazio, in the region called Marsica. The Marsi history dates back to about 800 BC as archeology have found vestiges of their presence in the Lazio, as early as 795 BC. The Marsi were an early Italian tribe of Germanic origin that moved south into the Italian peninsula, looking for warmer weather and better pastures for their cattle. The Marsi were skilled warriors and traders.

The Marsi traded heavily with other neighboring people in the Lazio, and as population grew, they allied themselves with these other groups in the region. The Marsi and their neighboring tribes entered a Confederacy in the fourth century BC. Members of this confederacy included the Vestini, Paeglini and finally the Samnites. The latter joined few years later in 308 BC. At the beginning and as the Roman people grew in numbers and importance, the Marsi did not want to be assimilated by them, so the Marsi fought several so-called "rebellious wars" against the conquering Romans. Eventually though, the Marsi merged with the Romans and became the original tribes of the later powerful Roman Empire.
