Guglionesi
Guglionesi (; local dialect: or ) is a town and ''comune'' in Molise, southern Italy, about from Campobasso. History Founded in the 5th century BC, at the time it was known as ''Uscosium'' or ''Usconium'' and together with Pescara, Ortona, Lanciano, Vasto and Larino, it was one of the most important centers of the Frentani, an Italic people that was part of the Samnites confederations. Thanks to its strategic position along the ''Via Frentana-Traiana'', ''Usconium'' became, towards the end of the Republican Era, a ''municipium'', reaching a population of some 25,000 inhabitants. Usconium was located between ''Monte Antico'' and ''Monte Capraro'', where Guglionesi is now found. Its inhabitants depended on the nearby ''Pagus Collis Nisii'' or ''Collenisyus'' ("Hill of Bacchus"), a hill fort in which they sheltered after the town's destruction by the Goths. In 412 AD, ''Colleniso'' became ''New Usconium'' and was encircled by protective walls in the Longobardo period. Af ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Province Of Campobasso
A province is almost always an administrative division within a country or state. The term derives from the ancient Roman ''provincia'', which was the major territorial and administrative unit of the Roman Empire's territorial possessions outside Italy. The term ''province'' has since been adopted by many countries. In some countries with no actual provinces, "the provinces" is a metaphorical term meaning "outside the capital city". While some provinces were produced artificially by colonial powers, others were formed around local groups with their own ethnic identities. Many have their own powers independent of central or federal authority, especially in Canada and Pakistan. In other countries, like China or France, provinces are the creation of central government, with very little autonomy. Etymology The English word ''province'' is attested since about 1330 and derives from the 13th-century Old French , which itself comes from the Latin word , which referred to the sphere o ...
