The County of Nice or Niçard Country ((フランス語:Comté de Nice / Pays Niçois), (イタリア語:Contea di Nizza/Paese Nizzardo), Niçard (オック語:Comtat de Niça/País Niçard)) is a historical region of France, located in the south-eastern part, around the city of Nice, and roughly equivalent to the modern department of Alpes-Maritimes. ==History== Its territory lies between the Mediterranean Sea (Côte d'Azur), Var River and the southernmost crest of the Alps. Ligurian tribes populated the ''Contea di Nizza'' prior to its occupation by the Romans. These tribes, conquered by Augustus, had become fully romanized (according to Theodore Mommsen) by the 4th century, when the barbarian invasions began. In those Roman centuries the area was part of the ''Regio IX Liguria'' of Italy. The Franks conquered the region after the fall of Rome, and the local Romance populations became integrated within the County of Provence, with a period of independence as a maritime republic (1108–1176). It was initially a semi-autonomous part of the ancient County of Provence, then it became in 1388 a part of the Duchy of Savoy (which became the Kingdom of Sardinia, usually referred to as Piedmont-Sardinia, in 1720). The region received the name ''County of Nice'' during the 15th century, after its integration into the Piedmontese state. From 1388 to 1860 the history of the County of Nice was tied to that of Italian Piedmont-Sardinia. Its historical capital city is Nice. 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「County of Nice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
