Rimini (English spelling)
|
A city in the province of Forlì, in the southeastern part of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy. It is located near the mouth of the Marecchia River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. It is at the eastern end of the ancient Roman Via Emilia and was an Etruscan town, but was occupied by the Romans in 268 BC and developed as a colony. It became an important base for the Roman army during the Second Punic War, and was subsequently ruled by the Byzantines, Goths, Lombards, and Franks. It became an independent city in the 13th century, but the Malatesta family ruled it from the end of the 13th century to the beginning of the 16th century, and it became a Papal State in 1509, and was annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860. Today, it is known as a resort and beach destination, and industries such as food, tobacco, textiles, medicines, and furniture have developed. At the southern entrance, the Arch of Augustus, built in 27 BC, remains, and the bridge over the Marecchia River also dates from the same period. Other attractions include the Roman amphitheater, a 13th century cathedral, and the ruins of the 15th century Malatesta Castle. Population: 143,321 (2011 estimate).

イタリア北部，エミリアロマーニャ州南東部，フォルリ県にある都市。アドリア海に注ぐマレッキア川の河口付近に位置する。古代ローマのエミリア街道の東端にあり，エトルリア人の町であったが，前 268年にローマ人によって占領され，その植民都市として発達した。第2次ポエニ戦争ではローマ軍の重要基地となり，その後ビザンチン，ゴート，ランゴバルド，フランクの諸勢力に相次いで支配された。 13世紀には独立の都市となったが，同世紀末から 16世紀初頭までマラテスタ家がここを治め，1509年以来教皇領となり，1860年にサルジニア王国に併合された。現在は保養地，海水浴場として知られるほか，食品，たばこ，繊維，薬品，家具などの工業も発達。南の入口には，前 27年に建設されたアウグスツスの凱旋門が残り，マレッキア川にかかる橋も同時代のものである。そのほかローマの円形劇場，13世紀の聖堂，15世紀のマラテスタ城址などがある。人口 14万3321（2011推計）。
