266 BC: Encyclopedia - Brundisium

Brundisium (Gk. Brentesion, mod. Brindisi) was an important harbour town of Apulia, Italy, on the east-south-east coast. The name is said to mean "stag's head" in the Messapian language, in allusion to the shape of the harbour.

266 BC: Encyclopedia II - Qin Shi Huang - Naming conventions

Qin Shi Huang was born in the Chinese month zheng (正), the first month of the year in the Chinese calendar (in the 3rd century BC the Chinese year started before the Winter solstice, and not after as it does today), and so he received the name Zheng (政), both characters were being used interchangeably in ancient China. In Chinese antiquity, people never joined family name and given name together as is customary today, so it is anachronistic to refer to Qin Shi Huang as "Ying Zheng". The given name was never used except by close re ...
