Noricum (English spelling)

Japanese: ノリクム（英語表記）Noricum

The name of the region that included the southern part of the Danube, central Austria, and parts of Bavaria in the ancient Roman period. The early Celtic kingdom of Noricum was much larger, including the surrounding areas, but when it was attacked by the Germanic Cimbri around the end of the 2nd century BC, it was rescued by Rome, and thereafter came under Roman protection, developing an excellent culture in the late La Tène period. It was eventually annexed by Rome around 15 BC and became a province, and was rapidly Romanized. It was known for its mineral resources, especially iron and gold, and large amounts of raw iron were exported to Rome. Noricum's swords are often sung in the works of the 1st century BC poet Horace. Attacks by Germanic tribes continued, starting with the invasion of the Marcomanni in 167, but by the end of the 5th century, the Franks and Goths had settled there.

Japanese:

古代ローマ時代のドナウ川南部，オーストリア中央部，バイエルンの一部を含む地域の名称。初期のケルト王国のノリクムは周辺地方を含め，さらに広大な地域であったが，前2世紀末頃，ゲルマンのキンブリ族の猛攻を受けた際，ローマの救援を得，その後はローマの保護下に入り，後期ラ・テーヌ時代の優秀な文化を発達させた。やがて前 15年頃ローマに併合されて属州となり，急速にローマ化が進められた。鉱物資源，特に鉄と金の産出で知られ，原鉄は多量にローマに輸出され，ノリクムの刀剣は前1世紀の詩人ホラチウスの作品にもしばしば歌われている。 167年のマルコマンニ族の侵入をはじめゲルマン諸族の攻撃が続いたが，5世紀末までにフランク族やゴート人が定住するにいたった。
