Sabina (Latin: Sabinum), also called the Sabine Hills, is a region in central Italy.

Today, Sabina is mainly northeast of Rome in the regions Lazio, Umbria and Abruzzo.

Part of Sabina is in the regions of Umbria (territories of Narni, Amelia, Cascia, Norcia, partially Upper Valnerina, etc.)

[citation needed] The second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, was from Cures, the capital of Sabina.

Spurius Carvilius confiscated large tracts of land in the plain around Reate (today’s Rieti) and Amiternum (11 km from L'Aquila), which he distributed to Roman settlers.

"[2] That is, they let the Samnites cross their territory to go to Etruria and join forces with the Etruscans, Umbrians and Senone Gauls.

[4] The Sabines were given citizenship without the right to vote (civitas sine suffragio), which meant that their territory was effectively annexed to the Roman Republic.

During the late 9th to early 10th century, the region was, along with much of central Italy, a stronghold of, or threatened by the Saracens.

[6] Sabina has been the seat of a Catholic bishopric since the 6th century, though the earliest names in the list of bishops may be apocryphal.
