The Romans establish the town of Pisaurum as a colony in the territory of the Piceni, a tribe living in the Marche on the Adriatic.

The northern Piceni had been invaded in the fourth century BCE by the Senones Gauls, and when the Romans reached the area the population was a mix of the two races.

Within it the Gauls at least were still distinct, as the Romans separated them out and expelled them from the country.
