Claternae, also called Claterna, was a Roman town on the Via Emilia situated between the ''coloniae'' of Bononia and Forum Cornelii. Like many other evenly spaced settlements on the Via Emilia, each at a day's march for the legionaries, it probably arose as a stopping place for travellers between the major towns. == History == The beginning of Roman colonization of Gallia Cisalpina and the building of the Via Emilia perhaps along a pre-existing trail,〔R. Susini, "Genesi storica di Claterna", in ''Culta Bononia'', 1970, II〕 Claternae was founded at the junction between the Via Emilia and another road, perhaps the Via Flaminia Minor, which crossed the Apennines to provide a link with Arezzo. Accordingly, the town, of medium size for that period, arose in the early 2nd century BC, officially in 187 BC. It disappeared not long after the 4th-century AD fall of the Western Roman Empire.〔(La città romana di Claterna: Ozzano dell'Emilia )〕 == Bishopric == Lanzoni argues that, like other towns in the region which were of no greater importance, Claternae was the seat of a diocese, to which he attributes a bishop named Constantius, whom Saint Ambrose, as metropolitan archbishop, directed to make frequent visits to the nearby diocese of Forum Cornelii, which was then without a bishop.〔Francesco Lanzoni, (''Le diocesi d'Italia dalle origini al principio del secolo VII (an. 604)'' ), vol. I, Faenza 1927, pp. 770–772 (entry "Faventia (Faenza)", subsection "Constantius II?")〕 No longer a residential bishopric, Claternae 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. 872〕 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「Claternae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
