Hospitalitas (English spelling) [Latin]

Japanese: ホスピタリタス（英語表記）hospitalitas[ラテン]

Originally meaning "hospitality for guests," this term refers to the rules for allocating lodgings when the ancient Roman army requisitioned private homes to use as lodgings. According to these rules, private individuals were required to provide one-third of their homes as lodgings for soldiers. It is generally believed that when Germanic tribes later settled in Western Roman territory, this rule was essentially followed in allocating land (in the case of the Visigoths and Burgundians, the Germanic side, who were the "guests," took two-thirds), but in recent years some have expressed different opinions.

Japanese:

〈賓客への歓待〉を原義とし，古代ローマ軍が私人の家を宿舎として徴発するときの宿舎割当規則を指す用語。その規則によると，私人は家の3分の1を兵士に宿舎として提供しなければならない。のちにゲルマン諸族が西ローマ領内に定着する際には，この規則が原則的に(西ゴートやブルグントの例では〈客分〉であるゲルマン側が3分の2を取っている)踏襲されて土地割当てが行われたとするのが通説であるが，近年異論も出されている。
