Institutes of Roman Law
Population of Tarentum enslaved after its capture.
30,000 Tarentines were sent as slaves to Rome by Fabius Cunctator, the captor of Tarentum;
The Histories
Citizens of Tarentum whose king shields Democedes and who later refuse to readmit the exile Gillus.
Darius kept his word, and sent a messenger to the men of Cnidos, telling them to take Gillus back to Tarentum.
for he supposed that the Tarentines would be the readier to receive him back as the Cnidians were their friends.
There Aristophilides, king of the Tarentines, out of sympathy for Democedes, took the steering gear off the Median ships and put the Persians under a guard, calling them spies.
The Rights of War and Peace
People of Tarentum, subjects of Rome by conquest, whose ambassador was punished.
Hence it is obvious why the Romans inflicted corporeal punishment upon an ambassador of Tarentum, because the Tarentines were at that time their own subjects, by right of conquest.
