Summary

General assemblies of Italian tribes

Diodorus, contemporary, Dionysius of Halicarnassus uses this cliche to describe the assembly of the Etruscans in 480. It is noteworthy that Dionysius wrote here about koine ekklesia of the ethnos As it will be shown later, the same pattern was exploited by Diodorus on the assembly of the Acarnanian Confederacy "When the question of secession was brought at a general assembly at Capua, and the course of action to be taken was being debated, the Capuans allowed a certain Pancylus Paucus to express his opinion". This piece of evidence of koine ekklesia at Capua or Campania cannot, be compared with any other information about the work and the name of assembly, which was an Oscan-Ianguage institution. Capua was the capital of the Campanian League, and this very wording can reflect the federal character of the assembly[9]
