Zuccabar or ''Zucchabar'' (present day Miliana in Algeria) was an ancient town in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis. ==History== It was constituted as a Roman colony (''Colonia Iulia Augusta Zucchabar'') under Augustus. Indeed actual Miliana corresponds〔(Werner Huß "Succhabar" in ''Brill's New Pauly'' (2011) )〕〔(Miliana ville historique )〕 to the town of Punic origin known in Roman times as "Zucchabar" (or even "Succhabar"). Under Augustus, it was given the rank of ''colonia'' and was thus referred to as ''Colonia Iulia Augusta Zucchabar''.〔(T.W. Potter, "Zucchabar" )〕 The Greek form of the name used by the geographer Ptolemy was Ζουχάββαρι (Zuchabbari).〔Ptolemy, Book 4, chapter 2 ((page 95 in the translation by Edward Luther Stevenson (New York, 1932) )〕 Pliny the Elder calls it "the colony of Augusta, also called Succabar",〔(Pliny, Natural Histories, book 5, chapter 1 )〕 and Ammianus Marcellinus gives it the name Sugabarri or (in adjectival form) Sugabarritanum.〔(Ammianus Marcellinus, ''Roman History'', XXIX, V, 25 and 20 )〕〔(Jan den Boeft, Jan Willem Drijvers, Daniël den Hengst, Hans Teitler (editors), ''Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXIX'' (Brill 2013 ISBN 978-90-0426787-9), p. 179 )〕〔(George Sale, George Psalmanazar, Archibald Bower, George Shelvocke, John Campbell, John Swinton ''An Universal History, from the Earliest Account of Time'' (T. Osborne 1748), p. 313 )〕 Zuccabar belonged to the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis〔〔〔 and was located 70 km south of the capital Caesarea, with a population of nearly 5,000 inhabitants (mostly romanised berbers). Zucchabar became a Christian episcopal see in the fourth century. The names of two of its Catholic bishops and one Donatist are recorded:〔(Stefano Antonio Morcelli, ''Africa christiana'' ), Volume I, Brescia 1816, p. 371]〕 *Maximianus, who attended the Conference of Carthage in 411 AD; * *Germanus, the Donatist bishop who attended the same conference; *Stephanus, one of the Catholic bishops whom Huneric summoned to a meeting in Carthage in February 484 AD and then exiled. The bishopric is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2013, ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 1013〕 In late antiquity it was an episcopal see that has been "born again" as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church since 1967. Miliana was (re)founded in the 10th century by Buluggin ibn Ziri on the site of the ancient Roman city of Zuccabar (or "Succhabar"). 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「Zuccabar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
