Cursus publicus

Japanese: クルスス・プブリクス(英語表記)cursus publicus
Cursus publicus
The relay system of the Roman Empire. During the Republic, magistrates and private citizens had to send their own servants to communicate. Augustus replaced the relay system of messengers in Italy and the West with a system of stations with horses and carts at regular intervals, as was practiced in the East, especially in Egypt. This allowed a single messenger to cover the entire route by changing horses at each station, and to give oral reports if necessary. This system was limited to official communication; private use required the emperor's permission, which was rarely given.

Japanese:
ローマ帝国の駅伝制度。共和政期には政務官も私人も自分の召使を派遣して通信せねばならなかった。アウグストゥスはイタリアや西部で使者を中継する制度を用いていたが,東方,とりわけエジプトで行われていた一定間隔で馬や荷車を備えた駅を置く制度に変えた。これによって1人の使者が駅で馬を乗り替えることにより全行程を行くことができ,必要な場合には口頭で報告することもできるようになった。この制度は公的な通信に限られ,私用する場合には皇帝の許可を必要とし,その許可もまれにしか与えられなかった。
