From an article in a tourist magazine about Concordia Sagittaria:
Altre cittadine, soprattutto con l’arrivo della bella stagione, si prestano ad una gita culturale percorrendo gli assi della centuriazione: [list of small towns]
Centuriation is the Roman city planning grid structure (but I will use the word centuriation). I am not sure how to render "assi": "axes"?

Note from asker:
Yikes, that's right. I was looking at definitions for both asso and asse, and listed the wrong one here. I may need to repost the question if I cannot change that! |
