peer agreement (net): +2summmit /stronghold Explanation: De Mauro definition: rocca, acropoli | cima, sommità Sapere.it definition: sf. lett. [sec. XIV; dal latino arx arcis]. Rocca; sommità. "Arce" means "rocca" (stronghold) or "sommitta`(summit). The "cinta muraria" (enceinte/fortification wall) was built around the stronghold or summit. You'll need to check if there was a stronhold/fortress as such on Monte Acero (I have no time to look). If there was then your answer is "Stronghold" - if not, then the walls were simply built around the summit of the mountain for defensive purposes and your answer is "summit" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-10-23 00:04:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- yes - it has a fortress, therefore the translation should be "Stronghold" (o "Fortress" if you prefer) Monte Acero offers a panorama of the olive groves growing amidst the ruins of a mighty Samnite fortress while the route follows the Titerno River over the Roman bridge named after Fabius Maximus. http://www.deliciousitaly.com/Campaniatour9.htm |
