The Venetulani are among the 53 peoples of Latium Vetus that Pliny the Elder records as having perished without leaving a trace (interiere sine vestigiis). They are counted among the 30 Alban communities that carried out and participated in sacrificial activities on Mons Albanus. The name is believed to derive from a Veneti settlement, which may have been called Venetulum.Pliny NH III 3,69.
