The '''Peucetii''' (or '''Poedicli''', according to [[Strabo]]<ref>Strabo, ''Geography'' VI.3 ([http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/6C*.html on-line text]).</ref> were a tribe who were living in [[Apulia]] in the country behind Barion (Latin Barium, modern [[Bari]]). With increasing [[Hellenization]] their [[eponym]]ous ancestor, given the name '''
[[Strabo]] places them to the north of the [[Calabria|Calabri]].<ref>"...on the north [of the land of the [[Calabria|Calabri]]], are the Peucetii and also those people who in the Greek language are called Daunii, but the natives give the name Apulia to the whole country that comes after that of the Calabri, though some of them, particularly the Peucetii, are called Poedicli also." (''Geography'' VI.3).</ref> In the time of Strabo the territory occupied by Peuceti lay on the mule-track that was the only connection between [[Brindisi]] and [[Benevento]].<ref>"There are two roads from [[Brindisi|here]]: one, a mule-road through the countries of the Peucetii (who are called Poedicli) the Daunii, and the [[Samnites|Samnitae]] as far as [[Beneventum]]..." (''Geography'' VI.7.</ref> Ceramic evidence justifies Strabo's classification of Daunii, Peucetii and Messapii, who were all speakers of the [[Messapian language]]. There were twelve tribal statelets among the Peucetii, one of which is represented by modern [[Altamura]].
