  Etymology.
  The name "Romagna" comes from the Latin name "Romània", which originally was the generic name for "land inhabited by Romans", and first appeared on Latin documents in the 5th century.
  It later took on the more detailed meaning of "territory subjected to Eastern Roman rule", whose citizens called themselves Romans ("Romani" in Latin; "Romàioi" in Greek).
  Thus the term "Romània" came to be used to refer to the territory administered by the Exarchate of Ravenna in contrast to other parts of Northern Italy under Lombard rule, named "Langobardia" or "Lombardy".
  "Romània" later became "Romandìola" in Vulgar Latin, meaning "little Romània", which became "Romagna" in modern times.
  History.
  Prehistory.
  A number of archaeological sites in the region, such as Monte Poggiolo, show that Romagna has been inhabited since the Paleolithic age. Modena (Etruscan: "Mutna" Modenese: "Mòdna") is a city and "comune" (municipality) on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy.
