The name of the Hernici, like that of the Volsci, is missing from the list of Italian peoples whom Polybius ref ii. 24 ref describes as able to furnish troops in 225 BC by that date, therefore, their territory cannot have been distinguished from Latium generally, and it seems probable that they had then received the full Roman citizenship. The oldest Latin inscriptions of the district from Ferentinum ref C.I.L. x. 5837 5840 ref are earlier than the Social War 91 88 BC Social War , and present no local characteristic. There is no evidence to show that the Hernici ever spoke a really different dialect from the Latins but one or two glosses indicate that they had certain peculiarities of vocabulary, such as might be expected among folk who clung to their local customs.
