1
00:00:02,816 --> 00:00:07,461
Inter antiquissimas civitates Uruk
numeratur, quae sita est in Mesopotamia,

2
00:00:07,510 --> 00:00:09,413
terra quae nunc ‘Iraq’ nuncupatur.

3
00:00:10,221 --> 00:00:16,211
Ibi quattuor milia [annos / annorum?] ante Christum natum prima urbs
post hominum memoriam condita est.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,267
Templa, aulae, officinae,
mercatus necnon castra stativa

5
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:27,559
circum spatium quinque
et dimidii chiliometrorum extenta erant.

6
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:31,573
Usque ad 50.000 hominum
illic vixisse creduntur,

7
00:00:31,778 --> 00:00:37,763
qui - ut videtur - primam vitam
vere urbanam sibi instituerunt.

8
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:46,191
In hac metropoli litterae floruerunt,
veluti carmen epicum de rege Gilgamesh.

9
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:52,254
Hoc loco scriptura cuneata
ab imaginibus signisque descendit.

10
00:00:55,278 --> 00:00:58,709
Hic primum perpensa accurata
ratio rei publicae curandae

11
00:00:58,742 --> 00:01:01,497
qua vis opesque urbis augerentur.

12
00:01:03,251 --> 00:01:06,115
Civitatis primores tamen magnificis
aedificiis luxuriaque

13
00:01:06,146 --> 00:01:10,270
se magis magisque a plebe segregabant,

14
00:01:11,757 --> 00:01:17,271
unde orta hominum
iniquitas nusquam prius visa.

15
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,350
Constat Uruk fuisse urbem
rerum politicarum,

16
00:01:20,382 --> 00:01:22,502
mercatoriarum sacrarumque novatricem,

17
00:01:22,553 --> 00:01:24,851
utpote incunabula administrationis,

18
00:01:24,881 --> 00:01:27,150
maiorum aedificiorum
necnon artis scribendi,

19
00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:32,283
quamobrem universo
sui temporis mundo exemplo fuit.
