Salve,<br>
the term "triplica" in Latin (and in Italian too ) simply means: "to do something three times", as "duplica" means "two times" and so on...<br>
Maybe is it relating to the layers of a shield (the mythical republican scutum)?<br>
Vale. <p>---------<br>
Fecisti patriam diversis gentibus unam;<br>
profuit iniustis te dominante capi;<br>
dumque offers victis proprii consortia iuris,<br>
Urbem fecisti, quod prius orbis erat.<br>
