Epidaurus ((ギリシア語:Επίδαυρος), (ラテン語:Epidaurum)) or Epidauros was an ancient Greek colony founded sometime in the 6th century BC,〔Aulus Hirtius, ''De Bello Alexandrino'' XIV〕〔Austria: Her People & Their Homelands by James Baker,""... dates back to the sixth century B.c., when the Greeks founded here Epidaurus"〕 renamed to Epidaurum during Roman rule in 228 BC, when it was part of the province of Illyricum, later Dalmatia.〔Wilkes, J. J. The Illyrians, 1992, ISBN 0-631-19807-5, page 216, "... hand, the Deraemestae (30) were formed from several smaller groups in the vicinity of the new Roman colony established at Epidaurum (Cavtat near Dubrovnik). ..."〕 It is located at the modern-day Cavtat〔 in Croatia, 15 km (9 mi) south of Dubrovnik. During the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey the city was besieged by M. Octavius but saved by the arrival of the consul Publius Vatinius. The city was destroyed by Avars and Slavic invaders in the 7th century.〔(Researches on the Danube and the Adriatic ) by Andrew Archibald Paton (1861). Contributions to the Modern History of Hungary and Transylvania, Dalmatia and Croatia, Servia and Bulgaria- page 247〕 Refugees from Epidaurus fled to the nearby island Laas or Laus (meaning "stone" in Greek,〔(Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, word ''λάας (laas)''. )〕 from which ''Ragusa'' (through rhotacism) was founded, which over time evolved into Dubrovnik.〔(Dalmatia and Montenegro ) by Sir John Gardner Wilkinson〕 Several Roman inscriptions are found amongst its ruins: the sepulchre of P. Cornelius Dolabella, who was the consul under Augustus and governor of Illyricum, and the remains of an aqueduct.〔Notizie Istorico-Critiche Sulla Antichita, Storia, e Letteratura de' Ragusei (published in two vols) by Francesco Maria Appendini.〕 In the Middle Ages, the town of Cavtat (Ragusa-Vecchia) was established in the same area. == See also == *List of ancient cities in Illyria *Illyricum (Roman province) *Dalmatia (Roman province) 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「Epidaurum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
