Another learning day...

Thanks for the link.  I found the comment that the war that led to the Roman conquest of Picenum "was started by the Picentes after the Romans encroached on their territory" reminiscent of Putin's attitudes towards Ukraine

I must admit, I did think of the Borg as the Romans "assimilated" the Picentes so well we no longer know what language the latter spoke.

Many years ago (like 50) I got some stuff on interlibrary loan which had a lot of 19th century illustrations of stuff found among the Picentes
A lot of it looked distinctly Illyrian to me. Certainly I would suggest they had contacts across the Adriatic

I certainly took notes, and of course I haven't a clue where they are

Poor show there Jim, not remembering something from 50 years ago which becomes interesting in a passing conversation now.

D Randall-McIver's Iron Age in Italy: A Study of Those Aspects of the Early Civilization which are Neither Villanovan nor Etruscan (1927). Somewhen around 1980 you lent me a copy of your notes, or else I borrowed the book on your recommendation and took notes.

You see, I don't need to be organised enough to find my notes, I just need to know people who are organised enough to remember where they put theirs 

Much to my surprise the book is available https://www.amazon.co.uk/Iron-Age-Italy-Civilization-Villanovan/dp/0837176336
And only £17.50
