Rimini

Rimini was founded by the Romans as a colony of Latin Law in 268 B.C. on a pre-existent site built between the Ausa and the Marecchia river as a little port - centre and road junction. It rose to Municipium and was enrolled in the Aniense tribe in 90 B.C.
In 359 A.D. it was the seat of a council summoned by the Emperor Costanzo II. In the 6th century it took part in the marine Byzantine five-towns alliance before falling into the hands of the Longobards. From the 8th century it belonged to the Church territory.
In 1157 its municipal autonomy was recognized by Frederick Barbarossa and by the Pope. It was Malatestas’ dominion from the late 1200’s to the 16th century, then it belonged to Cesare Borgia and then to the Venetians. In 1509 the ecclesiastical jurisdiction returned to power until 1860 when it ended by public vote.
