Much of what consists of modern day Talionia was densely populated coastal cities which existed as part of [[Adonerum|Adonerii League]] with peripheral agricultural lands inhabited by communities of native Urlazic speakers and a few major Istroyan communities established in Antiquity. Consequently, most of the local Urlazic tribes fell under Latinic influence and began to speak the Latinic language. As with much of the island, Talionia as a whole was conquered by the [[Latin Kingdom]] in approximately 570 BC, ending the Adonerii league and beginning a lengthy period of united Urlazian governance. The Latin Kingdom briefly contended with [[Great Levantia]] over dominance of the [[Sea of Canete]] beginning in the 250s and then entered a period of rapid decline. By approximately 400 AD it existed as a client state of [[Caphiria]], and was integrated in XXX. During the integration period, many of the previously large cities and autonomous city-states of Talionia were largely depopulated due to the threats of [[Gothic people|Gothic]] raids, which began to plague the island in the 5th century.

During the initial period of Caphirian control most local customs were respected and the area operated with considerable autonomy. Within the context of Caphirian control, the Latin-speaking city of Larianum began to exert a major influence over the local cities in the 5th century and became a major center of trade for the next several centuries, and as a consequence the city spawned a major cultural exchange that resulted in a divergent and unique culture growing in Talionia, mixing Levantine, Gothic, Sarpedonian, [[Istroyan people|Istroyan]], and Adonerii influences into a unique Latinic subculture.
 
The first period of Caphirian rule came to an end with the arrival of the Oduniyyad Caliphate in the 7th Century. While the Caliphate did not directly threaten Caphiria in the north, groups of adventurers from Oduniyyad-controlled southern Sarpedon came north and conquered the largely autonomous region of eastern Urlazio in 690 AD. In the process, Larianum was sacked and largely destroyed as trade into the area ground to a halt. Caphirian forces finally overcame the invaders in 763 AD and reestablished control, albeit more directly as was the case elsewhere during Caphiria's Principate period. In the reorganized province of ''Talionum'', the Caphirians rebuilt Larianum not far from the ruins of the old city, and trade resumed into the region, bringing goods from Audonia and Levantia into Sarpedon. Far overshadowed by the power of Venceia, Larianum and the surrounding eastern Urlazian provinces nonetheless managed to prosper during this period, and many traders going to Venceia would make a stop at Larianum.
