travertin Explanation: Travertine. The name travertine is derived from the Latin lapis tiburtinus, meaning "the stone of Tiburnium" (now Tivoli), a locality near Rome where these carbonate rocks have been quarried for more than two thousand years. http://books.google.se/books?id=Rbq4KJETsVwC&pg=PA16&lpg=PA1... Travertin (it. travertino, av lat. (lapis) Tiburtinus "(sten) från Tibur", d.v.s. Tivoli) är en typ av kalksten som används som material till byggnader. Travertin användes till Colosseum och andra av Roms berömda byggnader. (Wikipedia) |
