Mar Mediterraneo


Explanation:
Sì, dovrebbe trattarsi proprio del Mar Mediterraneo.
Ecco un breve estratto da Wikipedia sul Mar Mediterraneo:

"The term Mediterranean derives from the Latin mediterraneus, "middle of the Earth" (medius, "middle" + terra, "land, earth"). To the ancient Romans, the Mediterranean was the center of the Earth as they knew it. [...] In Hebrew, it is called Hayam Hatikhon (הַיָּם הַתִּיכוֹן), "the middle sea", a literal adaptation of the German equivalent Mittelmeer.
