The
Peucetians (; ) were a tribe who were living in
Apulia, southern
Italy, in the country of
Peucetia around modern
Bari. Other names are the
Poedicli and the
Pediculans. They are traditionally one of the tribes of the
Iapygian civilization. They had three important towns:
Canosa,
Silvium and
Bitonto; the present capital of
Apulia,
Bari, had not much importance.
