[edit] "Conca"

The previous version had the stone found in "Conca, Italy"; apparently due to a misunderstanding of a text in Italian, on the part of the writer of the 1911 Britannica. "Conca" means "basin", "flat valley", etc. and is not the name of a town. The town, a very small one, was Borgo Montello as I state in the repaired version; it does in fact lie in an open valley. There is no town by the name of Conca (or Conca + something) anywhere in the Lazio, at least down to 100 or so inhabitants, and the name is unlikely. — Bill 14:20, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
