Amantia ((ギリシア語:Ἀμάντια)) or Abantia ((ギリシア語:Ἀβάντια)) was an ancient Greek polis〔.〕〔Casson, S. ''Macedonia, Thrace and Illyria: their relations to Greece from the earliest times down to the time of Philip, son of Amyntas''. Greenwood Press, 1971. p. 322 ()〕 in Epirus. It occupied an important defensive position above the Vjosa river valley to the east, and on the road to the coast and the Bay of Vlorë, in Vlorë County in Albania. A Greek temple, the Aphrodite temple, a theatre, and a stadium have also been found in the city.〔Anamali S. Amantie. ''Iliria 2'' (1972), pp. 67-148.〕 The name for an inhabitant was ''Amantieus'' ((ギリシア語:Ἀμάντιεύς)). ==History== According to Pausanias, the settlement was founded by Locrians from nearby Thronium and Abantes from Euboea.〔Pausanias. ''Description of Greece'', 5.22.3-5.22.4.〕 Stephanus Byzantius similarly attributes the foundation to Euboean Abantes "returning from the Trojan war".〔Amantia: Illyrion moira, plesion Orikou kai Kerkuras eks Abanton apo Troias nostesanton oikismene.〕 Hesychius states that it was an Epirote settlement. Its name was mentioned for the first time in the 4th century BC. It is situated on the slope of a high hill and had only its acropolis fortified. By the 3rd century BC, the town was strengthened economically and minted its own coins. The town became part of the Roman province of Epirus Novus. Eulalius, one of the Eastern bishops at the Council of Sardica who refused to recognize its right to revoke the condemnation of Athanasius of Alexandria and withdrew in a body to Philippopolis, was probably bishop of this town, but some think he was bishop of Amasea.〔Michel Lequien, (''Oriens christianus in quatuor Patriarchatus digestus'' ), Paris 1740, Vol. II, coll. 250-251〕〔Daniele Farlati-Jacopo Coleti, ''Illyricum Sacrum'', vol. VII, Venezia 1817, [http://books.google.com/books?id=z1zLr_T1esUC&pg=PA394 pp. 394-395〕〔Siméon Vailhé, v.

Feder, ''Studien zu Hilarius von Poitiers'', Wien 1911, tomo II, pp. 71-72.〕 No longer a residential bishopric, Amantia is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 830〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amantia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
