Pomerania (lat. post murus, outside the walls) - in ancient Rome a sacral line marking the boundaries of the city.

The habit of designating the pomeranus came from the Etruscans. According to the legend of Romulus in 753 p.n.e. plowed the furrow at the western tip of the Palatine, thus setting the boundaries of the City (Roma quadrata). The town hall was also understood by the town hall. The line of pomerium was devoted to underground deities. Its transgression was not allowed and threatened with death due to ritual smear. When setting the border, the plow was raised several times, leaving the ground unbroken. In these places gates were created. The pomeranian line was later marked with stone pillars, and along its sides were used to lead the ramparts and ramparts.

In Rome, following the expansion of the city, a new pomeranian was solemnly set up. This was delayed, causing communication perturbations within the urban organism. Only at the turn of the 2nd and 1st century BC. The area was already inhabited by Servius Tulius (second half of the 6th century BC), and this was excluded from Aventin, who entered the ramparts only during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Once the pomeranium was established under the reign of Emperor Aurelian (271), laying them along the walls that were built at that time. The "Aurelian Wall" was 19 km long (a large part still preserved today). It was only after the First World War that Rome grew beyond the then sacred boundary of the city.

Pomerania was of cult and legal importance. Separate official divinations were to be performed for the inside and outside of the pomeranian area. Within the boundary of the sacred border, only the West and the well-deserved Romans could be buried. It was only after the victory of Christianity in the fourth century that church churches began to be built inside the city. Pomerania divides the range of civil and military power. The military empire was not within its borders. Hence, the chiefs in the precarious times of the decline of the republic often summoned the senate in the temples of the Mars Field, which lay outside the pompium. It was not possible to enter the city, except for triumphs, with arms. For this reason, the centurial combo was also gathering in the Mars Field. At the sign of unrestricted Roman officials outside the City, the lorik came out of it and put an ax at the crossing of the square to the left hand of a bunch of fasces. Within the Pomerania they were not allowed to enter hostages populi Romani (enemies of the Roman people). Therefore, the members of the state who were with Rome at the time of war or truce, the senate accepted in Bellony's Temple on the Mars Field. Even Caesar had to respect the pomeranian and Cleopatra visiting him did not cross the city limits.
