The Hernici were an ancient people of Italy, whose territory was in Latium between the Lago di Fucino and the Sacco River (Trerus), bounded by the Volscian on the south, and by the Aequians and the Marsians on the north.They long maintained their independence, and in 486 BC were still strong enough to conclude an equal treaty with the Latins (Dionysius of Halicarnassus viii. 64 and 68). They broke away from Rome in 362 (Livy vii. 6 if.) and in 306 (Livy ix. 42), when their chief town Anagnia was taken and reduced to a praefectura, but Ferentinum, Aletrium and Verulae were rewarded for their fidelity by being allowed to remain free municipia, a position which at that date they preferred to the civitas.
