LARINO (anc. Larinum)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 217 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LARINO (anc. Larinum) a town and episcopal see of the Molise (province of Campobasso), Italy, 32 M. N.E. of Campobasso by rail (20 M. direct), 984 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) 7044. The
cathedral
 , completed in 1319, has a good
Gothic
  facade; the interior has to some extent been spoilt by later restoration. The campanile rests upon a
Gothic
  arch erected in 1451. The Palazzo Comunale has a courtyard of the 16th century. That the ancient town (which is close to the modern) existed before the Roman supremacy had extended so far is proved by the coins. It lay in the 2nd Augustan region (Apulia), but the people belonged to the Frentani by race. Its strong position gave
of the old Iranian stock, and there are also a few nomads of the Turkish Bah-aria tribe which came to Persia in the rith century when the province was subdued by a Turkish
chief
 . Laristan remained an independent state under a Turkish ruler until 1602, when Shah Ibrahim
Khan
  was deposed and put to death by Shah `Abbas the
Great
 . The province is subdivided into eight districts: (r) Lar, the
capital
  and environs, with 34 villages; (2) Bikhah Ihsham with I1; (3) Bikhah Fal with ro; (4) Jehangiriyeh with 30; (5) Shibkuh with 36; (6) Fumistan with 13; (7) Kauristan with 4; (8) Mazayijan with 6 villages. Lingah, with its
principal
  place Bander Lingah and 11 villages. formerly a
part
  of Laristan, is now included in the " Persian Gulf Ports," a
separate
  administrative division. Laristan is famous for the condiment called mdhidbeh (fish-jelly), a compound of pounded small sprat-like fish, salt, mustard, nutmeg, cloves and other spices, used as a relish with nearly all foods.
