Unearthing Roman 'nerve centre' in Spain
- astine 11y agoDo people not know what an administrative center or military compound is? Are analogies from neurology of all things really more accessible?
- carlob 11y agoMy guess is it's a translation from an idiomatic expression in Spanish. I'm not sure, but 'nerve center' is a pretty common idiom in Italian for a hub, and a cursory web search seems to confirm this phrase exists in Spanish as well.
- pmerino 11y agoA nerve centre could be translated to Spanish as 'centro neurálgico' which basically means administrative center. It's widely used in Spanish :)
- astine 11y agoThanks. I don't speak Spanish. I had no idea that this was a common idiom.
- dandelany 11y agoIt's a very common idiom in English as well. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nerve%20center http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nerve%20center
