Default Who are the campanians? (Italy)

Campania

One of the most fertile areas in Italy, the interior was dominated by the Etruscans, the coast by Greek colonies, early in the period. The cities of both were gradually absorbed by the Oscan speaking interior tribes and a composite culture resulted. The Campanians thereafter were usually allied to Rome and played a major part in assisting Roman domination of the peninsula, Capua forming virtually a twin capital with Rome. However, Capua defected to Hannibal during his invasion and never regained its political influence. Cumae and Neapolis were the chief Greek coastal cities, and Nuceria dominated the southern part of the territory.
