Tium ((ギリシア語:Τῖον)) was an ancient settlement, now known as Filyas, on the south coast of the Black Sea at the mouth of the river Billaeus〔( Ancient coinage of Bithynia )〕 in present-day Turkey. Apart from ''Tium'', Latinized forms of the name are ''Teium'',〔(William Smith, ''A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', "Leocritus" )〕 ''Tieium'' and ''Tius'', corresponding to the Greek names Τεῖον (Teion), Τιεῖον (Tieion), Τῖον (Tion) and Τῖος (Tios).〔(William Anderson, "Late Byzantine occupation of the castle at Tios" in ''Anatolia Antiqua'' XVII (2009), pp. 265-277 )〕 == History == The town was founded as a colony from the Greek city of Miletus Miletus in the 7th century BC.〔Miletos, the ornament of Ionia: a history of the city to 400 B.C.E. By Vanessa B. Gorman Page 70 ISBN 0-472-11199-X〕 According to Strabo, the town was only remarkable as the birthplace of Philetaerus, founder of the royal dynasty of Pergamus.〔(Strabo, Geography 5.3.8 )〕 At the beginning of the 3rd century BC, together with Cromna, Cytorus, and Sesamus, Tium was incorporated with the new city of Amastris. Of the four towns, Tium alone, probably in 282 BC, recovered its autonomous status.〔 Tium was part of Bithynia, which on the death of King Nicomedes IV in 74 BC became a Roman province.〔 Emperor Theodosius I (379–392) incorporated it into Honorias, when he carved out this new province from portions of Bithynia and Paphlagonia and named it after his younger son Honorius. In 535, the Emperor Justinian united Honorias with Paphlagonia in a decree that expressly mentioned Tium among the cities that were affected.〔(Novella 29 of Justinian )〕 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「Tium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
