About Rome

Rome is the capital of Italy, the capital of the Lazio region, and at the same time the capital of the Province of Rome.
It has a population of approximately 280 million and is Italy’s largest city. Milan has a larger metropolitan-area population.

The Japanese name “Roma” is the Italian "Roma" read literally in Japanese romanization. In English, it is written "Rome" and pronounced roughly like “rohm.”

Rome preserves valuable remains from the ancient Roman era, including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Pantheon. It also has countless famous attractions, such as the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Mouth of Truth.

While Florence is known as the “City of Flowers” and Venice as the “City of Water,” Rome is celebrated as the“Eternal City”.

To the west of the Tiber lies Vatican City, which is located within Rome but is an independent state with recognized extraterritorial status. As the center of the Catholic Church, it attracts pilgrims from around the world.

History of Rome

The history of Rome is almost the history of Europe itself.

Ancient Rome

The so-called “Ancient Rome,” with Rome as its capital, is said to have emerged in the 8th century BCE according to Roman mythology. In historical fact, it evolved from a monarchy through a republic into an empire and lasted until 476, when the Western Roman Empire fell. At its height, it was a vast empire whose territory covered almost all of Europe except Germania (the lands east of the Rhine and north of the Danube), as well as Western Asia and parts of North Africa.

In 395, the Roman Empire split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, whose capital was Constantinople (Constantinopolis, modern-day Istanbul, Turkey). If the Eastern Roman Empire is regarded as Rome’s legitimate successor, the country called “Rome” continued until 1453, when the Eastern Roman Empire fell.

In European history, the fall of the Western Roman Empire is generally used to distinguish antiquity from the Middle Ages, while the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire distinguishes the Middle Ages from the early modern period.

Ancient Rome was a civilization of the Latins, one of the Italic peoples, and became a source of the identity of the “Italians,” who speak Italian, a language derived from Vulgar Latin, on the Italian Peninsula.

The Fall of the Western Roman Empire

The Western Roman Empire was not brought down by external enemies, but by a coup led by Odoacer, commander of its mercenaries. He sent the Western Roman emperor’s crown to Zeno, the Eastern Roman emperor, and obtained the right to rule Italy as the Roman emperor’s deputy.

The Migration Period and Ostrogothic rule

Odoacer eventually came into conflict with Zeno and was defeated by Theoderic on Zeno’s orders. Theoderic belonged to the Ostrogoths, a branch of the Germanic peoples who moved south during the Migration Period. In 497, the Ostrogothic Kingdom was established as a state recognized by the Eastern Roman Empire. Ravenna was made its capital.

The reunification of the Roman Empire led by the Eastern Roman Empire

The Ostrogothic Kingdom eventually came into conflict with the Eastern Roman Empire and was destroyed by Belisarius, sent by the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I, and later by Narses. Justinian I directly ruled Italy as king of the reunified “Roman Empire,” but the capital remained Constantinople, and Rome no longer possessed its former splendor.

Rule of the Lombard Kingdom

The Eastern Roman Empire was facing the Sasanian Empire in the east and was therefore unable to strengthen its control over the western regions where Rome was located. In 568, the Lombards, also a Germanic people, invaded the Italian Peninsula and founded the Lombard Kingdom. Its capital was established at Pavia in northern Italy, and it was never able to bring certain areas centered around Rome under its control.

Rule by the Papal States and the Holy Roman Empire

In 752, the Papal States (Papal State) were established in central Italy, with Rome as their capital. In 774, the Frankish Kingdom, led by Charles 1 (Charlemagne, in French), destroyed the Lombard Kingdom at the request of Pope Hadrian 1. Charles 1 was a Frank, one of the Germanic peoples.

In 800, Charles 1 was crowned Roman emperor by Pope Leo 3, symbolically marking the birth of the Holy Roman Empire. In practical terms, the Holy Roman Empire emerged after the division of the Frankish Kingdom, when Otto 1 of East Francia was crowned by Pope John 12 in 962. (In any case, the name “Holy Roman Empire” did not come into use until the 13th century.)

The state later known as the Holy Roman Empire claimed to be the successor to the Western Roman Empire, but it never had Rome as its capital and was in fact centered on Germany and Austria. Northern Italy, except for Venice, was placed under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, while only central Italy remained as the Papal States. Southern Italy was subjected to incursions by Arabs (Islamic forces).

Renaissance and the Italian Wars

Autonomous city-states such as the Duchy of Milan, the Republic of Florence, and the Republic of Genoa emerge, and Italy enters the Renaissance. At the same time, however, it becomes a stage for proxy wars between the Holy Roman Empire (the Habsburgs) and the Kingdom of France (the Valois), while the political aims of the Papal States also become intricately entangled, and conflicts never cease across Italy.

The pope is forced into a position where he must choose between supporting the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France. Pope Clement VII forms an alliance with the Kingdom of France, but in retaliation, the city of Rome is destroyed by the Holy Roman Empire in 1527. It is said that the Italian Renaissance came to an end at this time. The war is won by the Holy Roman Empire, led by Charles V (Charles I of Spain).

Habsburg rule

Upon the abdication of Charles V, the House of Habsburg split in 1556 into the Austrian Habsburgs (the Habsburg Empire), led by his brother Ferdinand I, and the Spanish Habsburgs (the Spanish Habsburg dynasty), led by his son Philip II. The Austrian Habsburgs claimed to be the successors of the Holy Roman Empire, but Charles V was the last Roman Emperor to be crowned by the pope, and the name Holy Roman Empire gradually became merely nominal.

After the rule of the Spanish Habsburgs, Italy came under the rule of the Austrian Habsburgs. Napoleon Bonaparte liberated Italy for a time, and France (the First Empire) took control, but as a result of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Austrian Habsburgs regained control of Italy.

The Unification of Italy

Through the independence movement centered on the Kingdom of Sardinia and supported by France (the Second Empire), Italy was finally unified. In 1871, Rome became its capital and, as its political system changed from a monarchy to a republic, it continued on the path toward modern Italy.

French support was not merely a matter of lofty ideals: under the secret Plombières Agreement, Italy lost part of its border regions with France, namely the present-day departments of Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and Alpes-Maritimes centered on Nice.

Roman-style artichokes
Roman-style artichokes (Carciofi alla Romana)are prepared this way. In the Jewish style, artichokes are deep-fried, while the Roman style involves simmering them with garlic, herbs such as mentuccia, water, and olive oil. Artichokes are considered a luxury ingredient in Japan, but in Italy they are an everyday food that is readily available everywhere. Their tender, fluffy texture, distinctive bitterness, and rich flavor may make them addictive after just one taste, even though they are somewhat unusual.

As the first mass-produced Pendolino (tilting train), it was a notable train that achieved a commercial top speed of 250km/h. It entered commercial service in 1988 and was retired in 2015. Its charming form and historical significance give it something in common with Japan's 0 Series Shinkansen. The 0 Series began operation in 1964, so their periods of service differed.Italian State Railways ETR460 series
