English term or phrase: this side of
num livro de ficção aparecem as seguintes frases:

"... it is a marvellous place, the greatest seat of learning this side of Rome"

"... he looked like the poorest beggar this side of Christendom".

entendo o que significa, porém acho estranho e incompreensível traduzir como "deste lado de Roma" e "deste lado da Cristandade". Gostaria de saber se existe alguma tradução consagrada para esta expressão ou se alguém tem alguma sugestão que soe bem e seja simples.

muito obrigado a quem puder ajudar
