Bancocum
Bancocum vel Angelopolis (lingua Thai กรุงเทพมหานคร, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon) est urbs circa 6 640 000 incolarum (anno 2005) et ab anno 1782 caput Thailandiae, atque frequentissima regni urbs.

Nomen 

Rex Rama I, qui hanc urbem annis 1782-1786 aedificavit, nomine simplicissimo  nuncupavit, verbo Thai Krung กรุง ("caput regni") adiectivum Pali deva เทพ ("divinum" seu "deorum") addens, quod pronuntiatione indigenarum thep sonat. Hodie nomen productius  ubique recipitur, appellatione Pali addita มหานคร mahānāgara ("urbs magna"). Nomen autem completum rex Mongkut sic decrevit: กรุงเทพมหานครอมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลกภพ นพรัตน์ราชธานี บุรีรมย์อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถานอมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์ (Thai krung + Pali devamahānāgarāmararatanakosindra mahindrayudhyā mahātilakabhava navaratanarājadhānī purīramyotamarājanivēsana mahāsthānāmaravimānāvatārasthitya shakrasdattiya vishnukarmaprasiddhi) quod pronuntiatione indigenarum sic sonat: . Discipulis scholarum nomen completum licet mente retinere; alii multi recitare possunt quia in carmine populari anno 1989 ab Asani et Wasan Chotikul canto includitur. Sententiam autem in verbis religiosis recelatam perpauci intellegunt. Hic circa annum 1688 mercatores Franci castellum posuerunt cui nomen locale Bancoq attribuerunt, fontem nominis etiam hodie Latine et linguis vernacularibus adhibiti.

Situs et clima 

Urbs Bancocum, a litoribus Sinus Siamensis vel 30 chilometris distans, ad ripam sinistram fluminis Menani (hodie titulo nobilitatis chao phraya nuncupati) inter paludes sita est, 2 metris tantum ab aequoris maris elevata, canalibus et fossis permeata.

Urbs in climate tropico iacet, praecipitatione imbrium quotidiana media 1.498 mm. Inter menses monsonii, id est Maium et Octobrem, imbres maximi et crebrissimi defluunt, ita ut mense Septembri seu Octobri nonnullae partes urbis inundentur. Imbres mensuales maximi mense Septembri fiunt, usque ad 344, minimi autem mense Ianuario 9 millimetrorum nec plurium. Temperatura media annuatim 28,4° confitetur, per totum annum inter 26,1° et 30,4° varians, meridie quam maxime 34,9° attingens, diebus seu noctibus ventosissimis quam minime 20,8°. Mense Aprili aër stat calidissima; eo enim mense temperatura inter 34,9° et 26° variat. Mense Decembri stat frigidissima, inter 31° et 20,8° varians. Ergo tempora anni ordinantur siccum a mense Novembri Februarium usque, calidum a mense Marti Iunium usque, humidum a mense Iulio usque ad Octobrem.

Historia 

Iuxta castello in ripa dextra eiusdem fluminis vicus sedebat indigenarum, nomine Thonburi. Urbe magna Udia a Birmanis anno 1767 deleta, regno destructo, dux bellorum Taksin inimicos expulsit regnumque novum proclamavit et in vico Thonburi praesidium posuit. Eo autem post quindecim annos a ducibus Surasih et Chakri deiecto et interfecto, ipse Chakri regnum accepit novumque caput in ripa sinistra fluminis constituit ubi Franci olim sederant. Originem enim in eodem anno 1782 habent et familia regalis Chakri et urbs regia Bancocum, die 21 Aprilis 1782 rite constituta. A saeculo XIX medio peregrini multi ad negotia perficienda ibi habitaverunt. Viae et ferroviae iussu praecipue regum Mongkut et Chulalongkorn constructae sunt; Pons Memorialis quo Bancocum et Thonburi trans flumen Menanum iunguntur aedificatus est anno 1932, urbis necnon familiae regalis centesimo et quinquagesimo, et ad honorem regis Chakri dicatus.
