Punic name of Cartagena?

[Callicles]

Without any authority to back this up, I suspect that there were other ways to refer to the women in Rome that simply did not make it in to the written or oral tradition. Even if it was just nick names.

Of course, the evidence against this line of reasoning is that while it is understandable that Livy, Polybius, and Seutonius don't speak of nick names, there is a chance that the nick names should show up in Plautus or Terrence. And as far as I know, they don't.

As for New City New, that sounds weird to us, but in comparison, how many people when they read "New York" or "New Jersey" think of the name as an adjective and a noun? I suspect that many people slur the two together into a single entity in their mind. The opposite would be that the "New" would only be used as an adjective when there was risk of confusing the American City with the British one.

Just a thought as I was reading this.

Sure there were. How about "wife of" or "sister of"? To my knowledge, the most personal way of adressing a women left from Roman days is the account of some husband's feelings towards his wife. But where did I read that translation?

Close to that, what will they call the new city if they rebuild New Orleans on a different site- something that at least appears to be a debate at the moment?
