A region in central Italy. Its capital is Rome. It faces the Tyrrhenian Sea and is surrounded by the provinces of Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, Molise, and Campania. It has many hilly areas extending from the Apennine Mountains, and many medieval cities called Castelli Romani (Castel Gandolfo) remain south of Rome, which have been used as villas by Roman citizens from ancient times to the present. The coastal areas were swamps where malaria occurred, but were reclaimed in the 19th century. The economy of the region is based on agriculture, with wheat, corn, and vegetables. In ancient times, the Etruscans lived there, and several important ruins remain. At the time of the founding of the ancient Roman state, it referred to a limited area called Latium, east and south of the Tiber River, but during the imperial period it expanded to include the region of Campania. In the 8th century, Pepin the Younger donated Ratio, which was Byzantine territory, to the Pope, and the foundation of the Papal States was laid. From the second half of the 13th century, the Pope became a true secular ruler, and from the 15th century onwards the Papal States expanded to central and northern Italy. Although it resisted annexation to the unified state established in 1861, it became a province of the Kingdom of Italy in 1870. Area: 17,207 km2 , population: 5,502,886 (2011).

イタリア中部の州。英語ではラティウムLatium。州都はローマ。ティレニア海に面し,トスカナ,ウンブリア,アブルッツォ,モリーゼ,カンパニアの諸州に囲まれる。アペニン山脈からのびる丘陵地帯が多く,ローマの南にはカステリ・ロマーニ(カステル・ガンドルフォ)と呼ばれる中世都市も数多く残り,古代から現代までローマ市民の別荘地となっている。沿岸地域はマラリアが発生する沼地だったが,19世紀に干拓された。州経済の基盤は農業で,小麦,とうもろこし,野菜類である。古くはエトルリア人が居住し,いくつかの重要な遺跡が残っている。古代ローマ建国時は,ラティウムと呼ばれるテベレ川の東と南の限られた地域を指していたが,帝政期にはカンパニア州に接するまでに拡大した。8世紀に小ピピンがビザンティン領だったラチオをローマ教皇に寄進し,教皇領の基礎が築かれた。13世紀後半から教皇は真の世俗的統治者となり,15世紀以降教皇領は中・北部イタリアへ拡大された。1861年に成立した統一国家への併合に抵抗したが,1870年,イタリア王国の一州となった。面積1万7207km2,550万2886人(2011)。
