This should be called : "Tribulus: tribulatios et troubles"
:lol:
Question 1): why did the Romans call them "tribuli"?
It has got four spikes! (the first D4? hock: ) or for the three points in the earth?
Question 2): The Tribulus plant (trÃbulo -still- in Spanish) was named after it or it was otherwise? Has this spiky plant any particular characteristic?
I remember losing one some years ago in the Ludis Veleienses. Fortunately it dropped from a table to the grass beneath, so we were sure it wasn´t far away (and there wasn´t public walking UNDER the table). But it was F****ly well hidden :evil: . I missed one and half gladiator fight while looking it. :roll:
