Summary

1176 - Since the days of the Holy Roman Emperor, Otto the Great, during the tenth century, Italy was the poorer brother of Germany. A key factor within this relationship was the Papacy, and by the latter half of the eleventh century, with the support of the Pope, the Italians had had enough of being the Holy Roman Empire's whipping boys.

0:17.0	Volume 4, the Medieval World
0:24.0	Episode 39 The Battle of Lignano. Oh, This week's episode takes us to the southern side of the Italian Alps, around 15 miles northwest of the modern Italian city of Milan.
1:04.4	It's quite tricky to determine what was going on
1:06.9	before the Romans began to document things.
1:10.2	But when they did, they would tell how this area of Europe and Italy was occupied by Gauls.
1:17.6	The name of the Gauls is a collective name given by the Romans to those Celtic peoples of various tribes
1:26.2	living to the north and beyond the Italian Peninsula.
1:30.3	In the eyes of the Romans the Gauls lived both on the near side and beyond the Alps.
1:40.0	The tribes on the near side were collectively referred to as the Chizalpine Gauls.

2:06.0	as an archaeological area associated with the Golose Seca culture whose sites have been excavated since the 19th century.
2:17.0	It is difficult to determine when and how the neighboring cultures of the Celts, the Ligurians and the Etruscan's influenced
2:27.5	the emerging Insebri, or to what degree any of them were ancestral to them?
2:34.2	The Insebree appeared to have established the city of Milan in or around the year

2:48.8	on the Italian Peninsula would begin to expand its influence and by the third century B.C. this would bring
2:56.6	them into close contact with the lands of the Insebree.
3:02.3	With the tension between the Carthaginians and the Romans becoming more intense, the Romans
3:08.6	wanted to increase their influence to empower themselves and this would come at the expense of the lands of the Insebree, which were
3:17.4	consumed by the Romans during the 220s, B.C. E.
