Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Aanduiding voor de oost-west-as die de oude Romeinen gebruikten bij het opmeten en indelen van stukken land waarop ze steden wensten te bouwen, en, bij uitbreiding, ook voor de belangrijkste, lees de breedste en meest grootschalige straten die van oost naar west lopen in regelmatig aangelegde Romeinse steden. |
Spanish ..... Designa una calle este-oeste utilizada en la disposición de las parcelas del campo y ciudades asociadas de la antigua Roma y, por tanto, por extensión, la calle principal este-oeste, distinguida por su mayor anchura y escala de cargos, de las ciudades planificadas de Roma. |
