The '''Glaistic civilization''', alternatively known as the '''Glaistic culture''', is the term used to refer to the cultures present in [[Aciria]] prior to the arrival of the [[Latinic people]] into the region. The earliest archaeological evidence of the culture is dated to between 2000 to 1500 BC, and the distinct culture lasted until the 2nd century BC before eventually merging with the Latinic people to create the ancestors of modern day [[Aciriani people|Acirians]]. Some controversial evidence suggests that the Glaistic civilization managed to survive until the 1st century AD, mainly in the mountainous Montanaro country, and following excavations in Montanaro country in 2026, evidence suggests the culture might have lasted even up until the 4th century AD. | The '''Glaistic civilization''', alternatively known as the '''Glaistic culture''', is the term used to refer to the cultures present in [[Aciria]] prior to the arrival of the [[Latinic people]] into the region.

The ethnonym Glaistic is the conjugated form of the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] name for the people living there, Glaistos. The origin of the name is unknown, but linguists generally agree it's derived from the Istroyan word glaios (''Istroyan'':γλάιος), meaning vicious. | The ethnonym Glaistic is the conjugated form of the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|ancient Istroyan]] name for the people living there, Glaistos.

Due to the limited or nonexistent literacy in the region, with the exception of writing following the [[Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom]] and the final years prior to the Latin integration, most written records of the Glaistos come from the Istroyans, which are considered Istrocentric in nature and raise questions regarding accuracy of the descriptions. | Due to the limited or nonexistent literacy in the region, with the exception of writing following the [[Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom]] and the final years prior to the Latin integration, most written records of the Glaistos come from the Istroyans, which are considered Istrocentric in nature and raise questions regarding accuracy of the descriptions. | ||

Religion was inseparable from the Glaistic society. [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] records describe gods and practices of those in [[Ancient Acirian religion]], which suggests the origins and traditions of the religion were older than previously thought. In contrast to the Glaistic ancestors, the Glaistic culture after contact with Istroyans seemed to have an increased importance of warfare. Some scholars have suggested the Istroyan weapons traded into the region sparked a Glaistic weapons race, which eventually lead to the warlike culture the Istroyans described. It's unknown what role the chiefs of tribes played in society, but some evidence points to them being of the [[Ancient_Acirian_religion#Overview|visas]] class due to the religious items often buried with the chief class. | Religion was inseparable from the Glaistic society.
