Emona 2000

Ljubljana praznuje 2000 let Emone Dva tisoč let pred Ljubljano je tu stalo rimsko mesto Emona. Leto 2014, ko Ljubljana praznuje jubilej Emone, bo zaznamoval živahen program dogodkov in doživetij, ki bodo obujala vzdušje rimskih časov. Leta 14. n.št. je rimska kolonija Julija Emona (Colonia Iulia Aemona) že stala na območju današnjega mestnega središča Ljubljane. O tem priča napis, ki govori o donaciji, ki sta jo mestu podelila cesar Avgust in Tiberij. Emona, ki je imela zaradi svoje lege pomembno vlogo v obrambnem sistemu rimskega imperija, je cvetela med 1. in 5. stoletjem n.št. V mestu, ki je bilo zgrajeno po rimskem vzoru in je delovalo v skladu z rimsko politično in religiozno ureditvijo, je verjetno živelo okoli 5.000 kolonistov, ki so se ukvarjali s kmetovanjem, trgovino in obrtjo. "Salvete, grati nobis Emonam venitis" Ljubljana celebrates 2000 years of Emona Two thousand years ago, the Roman city of Emona stood on the site of the present-day Ljubljana. In 2014, in celebration of the anniversary, Ljubljana will host a vibrant programme of events and experiences aimed at evoking the atmosphere of Roman times. In 14 AD, the Roman colony of Emona (Colonia Iulia Aemona) unquestionably already stood on the site of the present-day city centre of Ljubljana. This is evidenced by an inscription about a donation that the city received from the emperors Augustus and Tiberius. Due to its geographical position, Emona played an important role in the Roman Empire’s system of defence and flourished from the 1st to the 5th century AD. It was built on a Roman model and was governed in accordance with Roman political and religious principles. It is believed to have been inhabited by around 5,000 colonists, whose occupations were agriculture, trade, and crafts.
