Latium - Latium (English spelling)

Japanese: ラティウム - らてぃうむ(英語表記)Latium
Latium - Latium (English spelling)

It is the Latin name of Lazio, a region in central Italy. In contrast to modern Lazio, which spreads north and south from Rome, ancient Latium was originally a region of about 1,200 square kilometers south of the Tiber River (now the Tiber River) stretching from Tibur (now Tivoli) to the Tyrrhenian Sea ("Old Latium"), and originally referred to the area inhabited by Latin peoples. After the 5th century BC, the territories of the Volsci, Aequi, Hernici, etc. became "Extended Latium", and Latium came to border Campania. After the Latin War in 338 BC, most of the region was annexed to the Roman state. Since becoming the base of the secular power of the Pope in the 6th century, it was a core part of the Papal States throughout the Middle Ages, but was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy in 1870.

Japanese:

イタリア中部の州ラツィオのラテン名であるが、古代のラティウムは、ローマを中心に南北に広がる現代のラツィオに対し、元来ティベリス川(現テベレ川)以南、ティブルTibur(現チボリ)からティレニア海に向かって広がる約1200平方キロメートルの地方で(「旧ラティウム」)、本来ラテン人の居住地をさした。紀元前5世紀以降、ウォルスキ人、アエクイ人、ヘルニキ人などの領域が「拡大されたラティウム」となり、ラティウムはカンパニアと境を接するに至った。前338年のラテン戦争後、当地方の大部分がローマ国家に併合された。6世紀にローマ教皇の世俗的権力の基地となって以来、中世を通じてローマ教皇領の中核部分をなしていたが、1870年イタリア王国に併合された。
