Achaean League - Achaean League

Japanese: アカイア同盟 - あかいあどうめい
Achaean League - Achaean League

A league that arose in the Akhaïa region of the northern Peloponnese in ancient Greece. It was founded in 280 BC as a successor to the old confederation of 12 Achaean city-states. The league was headed by two people at first, but after 255 BC, by one general. In addition, there were a group of 10 officials called demiurgoi, and two councils, the general assembly and the council of the league. Citizens of the member cities had dual citizenship of the league and of the polis to which they belonged. It expanded by admitting members from outside Achaea, and by 191 BC had become a force that covered almost the entire Peloponnese. However, it was defeated by Rome in 146 BC and dissolved, and thereafter existed only as a religious organization.

古代ギリシアのペロポネソス半島北部アカイアAkhaïa地方に興った同盟。アカイアの12のポリス(都市国家)の古い連合体を受け継ぐものとして、前280年に成立した。同盟の長は初め2人、前255年以後は1人の将軍で、ほかにデミウルゴイdēmiūrgoiとよばれる10人の役人団、および、同盟総会、同盟評議会という二つの会議などがあり、加盟ポリスの市民は、各自が所属するポリスの市民権と同盟の市民権を二重に所有した。アカイア以外の地域のポリスの加盟をも認めて発展し、前191年以降はほとんどペロポネソス半島全域を覆う勢力となった。しかし、前146年ローマに敗れて解体させられ、以後は祭儀団体としてのみ存続した。
