Difference between revisions of "Budapest"

Budapest was originally founded as the city of Buda, at the side of the abbacco river. The date of foundation is uncertain. The first ones to live in the hamlet were Abcrussians, that came from Eastern [[Alga Sea]] and South Alga Sea. The Latin-Etruscan culture proliferated on this era, and in 710 BC (?) the Plateau of Buda was the acropolis of the city. It held a lot of temples, such as the Minerva Sanctuary and the Abcisse Forum (This last one was rebuilt in 1799 as it was originally built). During that time, the government was based on a monarchy, as a vassal state of the Abcrussia-Copacabana Kingdom. The city had 1000-2500 inhabitants at that time. However, in 560 BC, Abcrussia, capital of the Abcrussia-Copacabana Kingdom, was raided by Franks from the west, with lead to the collapse of the Kingdom.  

After Buda gained its independence from Abcrussia, it became the capital of the Abbacco Empire. At that time, on the other side of the Abbacco river, a new  city was founded to support Buda's growing population. It's name was Pest. At that time both cities started growing constantly, and the population was over 50.000. This was a time for great prosperity for the region, because the Abbacco Empire was rich and able to make a lot of monuments to their people. One of them, most notably is the Abbacco Amphitheater, that still exists. In 110 DC, after more than 600 years of prosperity, the city was sieged by the army of Copacabana, a new land recently converted to the new-growing religion, catholicism.   

After the fall of the Abbacco empire, an hellenistic empire, all pagan temples were put down and the city entered into a big crisis. However, the cities of Buda and Pest united to form a republic. At that time most of the trade was put down and a Holy State began to be built near the recently-united city. It was the Vatican. At that same time, the first Buda-Pest parliament began to be built.   

The Pope and the Holy Army of the Vatican occupied the Republic, that was absorbed into the Papal States of Copacabana. The era did not have much technological advancements, and the plague that hit it, on the 1100, made the population fall from 60.000 to 25.000.  After crusades to the East, the Pope gave the city independence, and his holy empire was dissolved.
