Lesson plan
Catari
The Catari were an ancient people listed by Pliny the Elder among the peoples of Pannonia. They occupied the southern part of the territory of the colony of Emona (modern Ljubljana), near the frontier between Pannonia and Italy. Their linguistic affiliation is disputed, and the personal names recorded in their territory combine northern Adriatic (Venetic) and Celtic elements. Their peregrine civitas was short-lived and ceased to exist when Emona and its district passed to Italy in the 1st century AD.
