The Roman government bulletin. It is considered the precursor of newspapers in the Western world. It was often so named by messengers who sent news to the provinces by letter. When Caesar became consul in 59 BCE, he instituted the publication of the deliberations and decisions of the senate (acta senatus), the assemblies, and matters of general importance (acta diurna, also called acta populi) in order to weaken the power of the senate. The acta senatus was abolished under Augustus, but the latter continued throughout most of the empire. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
古代ローマの政府広報。西方世界における新聞の始原とされる。また手紙で地方にニュースを送る通信業者が,しばしばその通信をそう名付けた。前59年,カエサルが執政官になったとき,元老院の議事・決定(アクタ・セナトゥスacta senatus),民会,一般重要事件(アクタ・ディウルナ。アクタ・ポプリacta populiなどの別名もある)の公表を実行した。元老院の力をそぐためである。アクタ・セナトゥスはアウグストゥスの時代に廃止されたが,後者は帝政のほぼ全期間を通じて存続する。
