The Friniates were an ancient Eastern Ligurian people who lived in Cisalpine Gaul (Northern Italy), in the Apennines area between the current provinces of Reggio Emilia and Modena. With the Roman conquest of Cisalpine Gaul, they were reduced to subjection by Gaius Flaminius in 187 BCE.[1] A portion of the land of the Friniates makes up the current historical ethno-cultural region known as Frignân in the local Gallo-Italic language (Italian: Frignano).
