Berge or Berga ((ギリシア語:Βέργη or Βέργα)) was a Greek〔The Greek Settlements in Thrace Until the Macedonian Conquest (page 57 ) by Benjamin H. Isaac ISBN 90-04-06921-6 (1986)〕 settlement in what is now the Serres regional unit in northern Greece. The town was located in the region of Bisaltia, north-west of Amphipolis, and was founded by Thasians〔An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis: An Investigation Conducted by The Copenhagen Polis Centre for the Danish National Research Foundation by Mogens Herman Hansen,2005,page 859〕 as a dependent colony and emporion sometime in the 5th century BC.〔Agoranomia: studies in money and exchange presented to John H. Kroll By John H. Kroll, Peter G. Van Alfen Page 75 ISBN 0-89722-298-9 (2006)〕 The town was a member of the Delian League, and according to N. G. L. Hammond was colonized by 1000 Athenians.〔 Later sources call it a ''polis'', but according to Strabo it was a village of the Bisaltae and Ptolemy writes that it was in the territory of the Odomanti.〔 Berge was a rich city and that minted her own currencies from 476 to 356 BC the currencies they depicted Silenus with a nymph or Silenus or a fish carp or square crisscross in form of swastikas and had the following words inscribed, ((ギリシア語:ΒΕΡΓ)) or ((ギリシア語:ΒΕΡΓΑΙ)) or ((ギリシア語:ΒΕΡΓΑΙΟΥ)). Berge began to lose its importance after the foundation of Amphipolis, it continued however being a self-sufficient city in Hellenistic and Roman times. It was the homeland of Antiphanes of Berge (4th century BC), writer of the book ''Apista'' (Unbelievable Stories), from which the verb ''bergaizein'' ((ギリシア語:βεργαϊζειν)) was created to denote someone telling incredible stories.〔 ==See also== *Bergaios 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「Berge (Bisaltia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
