SR - Naming the Region

[Martin, Brian]

<much informative stuff snipped>

In Campo di Fiori, what does "Fiori" mean?  "Field where
the Fiori family lives" is not particularly good support
for "Field of the lions": the obvious explanation for the former
(if you go there, you'll meet the Fioris, which is not all
that unexpected -- SOMEONE is likely to live there)
is most improbable for the latter (zoos were NOT common).

[Martin, Brian]  Campo di Fiori means "Field of Flowers". 
Interestingly enough,
there's still a flower market there. There are also several good 
restaurants there
as Jehanne and I can attest. :)

While zoos may not be period, if you travel to the southern region, 
particularly Bjornsborg,
one will meet Lions. In fact, I think that Bjornsborg may have more 
Lions of Ansteorra than
any other group in the kingdom. I think its either Bjornsborg or 
Stargate. Still between Bjornsborg,
Ravensfort and Bryn Gwlad, we have a sizable pride in the South.
