Hamath (English spelling)

Japanese: ハマト(英語表記)Hamath
Hamath (English spelling)
The ruins of an ancient city in northern Syria. Its current name is Hama. Located in the Orontes (Ash) River basin, it was a key transportation hub and developed as a city during the Bronze Age under the influence of the Hittite Empire. From around 1200 BC, the Aramaeans and the Hittites of the New Kingdom established local dynasties there. Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions left by the latter indicate the southernmost extent of their rule. During the time of the unified Kingdom of Israel, it is believed to have been under the rule of David and Solomon, but later became independent and resisted the Assyrian army advancing westward.

シリア北部の古代都市遺跡。現在名はハマー。オロンテス(アシ)川流域に位置する交通の要衝で,青銅器時代にヒッタイト帝国の影響下に都市として発達し,前1200年ころからはアラム人や新王国時代のヒッタイト人が地方的王朝を樹立した。後者が残したヒッタイト聖刻文字碑文はその最南の支配範囲を示す。イスラエル統一王国時代にはダビデやソロモンの支配下にあったと思われるが,その後独立し,西進するアッシリア軍に抵抗した。
