Aveia was an ancient town of the Vestini, on the Via Claudia Nova, c. 10 km south-east of L'Aquila, N.E. of the modern village of Fossa, in central Italy. Some remains of ancient buildings still exist, and the name Aveia still clings to the place. The identification was first made by V. M. Giovenazzi in ''Della Città di Aveia ne' Vestini'' (1773). Paintings in the church of S. Maria ad Cryptas, of the 12th to 15th centuries, are important in the history of art. An inscription of a stationarius of the 3rd century, sent here on special duty (no doubt for the suppression of brigandage), was found here in 1902.〔 cites A. von Domaszewski, ''Röm. Mitt.'', 1902, 330.〕 == Bishopric == The bishopric of Aveia was founded in the mid-5th century.〔(Chronology of Catholic Dioceses:Italy )〕 and disappeared, along with the town, in the 6th-century devastations of the Lombards. Maximus of Aveia, a native of the town and a deacon, was martyred in the persecution of Decius, Roman Emperor from 249 to 251. The bishopric of Aveia may have arisen because of veneration of his relics. After the destruction of the town, these were removed to a nearby town which became known as ''Civitas Sancti Maximi'' (Saint Maximus Town), which thereupon became the seat of the diocese. From there, in 1256, they were moved to the new town and diocese of L'Aquila.〔(Santibeati, "San Massimo d'Aveia" )〕〔Francesco Lanzoni, ''(Le diocesi d'Italia dalle origini al principio del secolo VII (an. 604) )'', vol. II, Faenza 1927, pp. 365-370〕 No longer a residential bishopric, Aveia is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 843〕 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「Aveia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
