Idalion or Idalium ((ギリシア語:Ιδάλιον), ''Idalion'') was an ancient city in Cyprus, in modern Dali, Nicosia District. The city was founded on the copper trade in the 3rd millennium BCE. Its name in the 8th century BCE was "Ed-di-al" as it appears on the Sargon Stele of 707 BCE, and a little later on the nl:Prism of Esarhaddon. ==The ancient city== The original inhabitants were the natives of the island, known to scholars as the "Eteocypriotes". The original city lay on the northern side of the Yialias River in modern "Ayios Sozomenos". During the 13th century BCE the people of Ed-di-al began manufacturing operations on the south side of the river in what is now modern Dhali. From there the city grew to the major urban and copper-trading center found by the Assyrians at the end of the 8th century BCE. Idalion was among the 11 cities of Cyprus listed on the Stele of Sargon (707 BCE) and first among the ten Cypriot kingdoms listed on the prism (many-sided tablet) of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (680–669 BCE). These 10 cities are listed as Idalion, Chytroi, Soloi, Paphos, Salamis, Kourion, Tamassos, the "New Town", Ledrai and “Nuria”. The first evidence of non-Cypriote presence (Greek, Phoenician, and others) appears in the Archaic Period (c. 550 BCE) in inscriptions found in the Adonis Temenos on the East Acropolis. 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「Idalium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
