There are several hypotheses on the origin of the name Lucania, inhabited by Lucani, an Osco-Samnite population from central Italy. The district of Lucania was so called from the people bearing the name Lucani (Lucanians) by whom it was conquered about the middle of the 5th century BC. Cities and towns[edit] In the late 20th century, Lucania was still in vernacular use as a synonym to Basilicata.[3] Articles containing Ancient Greek (to 1453)-language text Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1752.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1752.txt
