Luceria is an ancient city in the northern Apennines, located in the comune of Canossa in the Province of Reggio Emilia, on the right bank of the river Enza. == Toponym == The name might derive from ''lucus'', which means "sacred grove". It is not clear if this was the proper name of the city or if it was called ''Nuceria''. The little stream which separates Canossa from San Polo d'Enza is still called the ''Rio Luceria'' today. The name of this stream is fairly old as it appears in the 1364 property records of Azzo da Correggio as ''Rivum Luxerae''.〔G.Tiraboschi, ''Dizionario topografico-storico degli Stati Estensi'', I, Modena 1824〕 The Egyptian astronomer and mathematician Claudius Ptolemy (85-165 AD) describes the position of the city with great precision in his ''Geographia'',〔C. Tolomeo, ''Γεωγραφικὴ ὑφήγησις'' (''Geographike Hyphegesis''), 2.1: ''Galia Togata ... there are these cities ... Brescello 32 * 43°20”, Parma 32 *00” 43°30”, Lepidus' colonia of Rhegium 32 *30” 43°30”, Nuceria (Νουκερίαν) 32 *30” 43°20” ...''〕 indicating the latitude and longitude according to the system he invented, but he calls it Nuceria. However, Luceria is the best-attested and most used name, even in official documents.〔E.Cerchi, ''Luceria e il popolamento romano nella bassa valle dell'Enza'', 1987, p. 70.〕 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「Luceria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
