An ancient city located at the mouth of the Mejerda River (old name: Baclades River) in North Africa, now in northern Tunisia. Founded by the colonial activities of the Phoenicians, it flourished under the Carthaginian Empire as a port city, and its earliest ruins can be traced back to the 8th century BC. During the Third Punic War (149-146 BC), it supported Rome against Carthage, and was the capital of the Roman province of North Africa until Caesar rebuilt the city. It is well known that Cato the Younger, an anti-Caesar republican believer, committed suicide here. Under the imperial city system, it became a municipium (autonomous city) under Emperor Augustus, and was promoted to a colony (colony) under the reign of Emperor Hadrian.

北アフリカ、現在のチュニジア北部、メジェルダ川(古名バクラダス川)河口にあった古代都市。フェニキア人の植民活動によって創設された港湾都市としてカルタゴ帝国下に繁栄し、最古期の遺跡は紀元前8世紀までさかのぼることができる。第3回ポエニ戦争(前149~前146)の際にカルタゴに対抗してローマを支援したことから、カエサルによるカルタゴ市の再建まではローマの北アフリカ属州の首府であった。反カエサル派の共和政信奉者小カトーがこの地で自殺したことは有名な事件である。帝政期の都市制度上では、アウグストゥス帝のもとでムニキピウム(自治市)となり、ハドリアヌス帝の治世にはコロニア(植民市)に昇格している。 [本村凌二] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
