Oppidum
An oppidum (plural oppida) is a large fortified Iron Age settlement. Oppida are associated with the Celtic late La Tène culture, emerging during the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, spread across Europe, stretching from Britain and Iberia in the west to the edge of the Hungarian plain in the east. They continued in use until the Romans began conquering Europe. North of the River Danube, where the population remained independent from Rome, oppida continued to be used into the 1st century AD.
Definition
Oppidum is a Latin word meaning the main settlement in any administrative area of ancient Rome. The word is derived from the earlier Latin ob-pedum, "enclosed space", possibly from the Proto-Indo-European *pedóm-, "occupied space" or "footprint".
In his Commentarii de Bello Gallico, Julius Caesar described the larger Celtic Iron Age settlements he encountered in Gaul during the Gallic Wars in 58 to 52 BC as oppida. Although he did not explicitly define what features qualified a settlement to be called an oppidum, the main requirements emerge: They were important economic sites, places where goods were produced, stored and traded, where sometimes Roman merchants had settled and where the Roman legions could obtain supplies. They were also political centres, the seat of authorities taking decisions that affected large numbers of people – for example the appointment of Vercingetorix as head of the Gallic revolt in 52 BC.

Falta Amor
by: OptimoFalta Amor
Yeah yeah
This is optimo
Never say never
I, I used to say that Id live without your love girl,
I, I used to say that Id live without you.
Now its all night,
Lo que pasa es que en la noche no duermo pensando en tu amor.
Now its all day,
Cada momento que el telefono suena, pienso que eres tu.
Lo que pasa es que la manera en que vivimos,
No se puede olvidar la amor.
Y en mi casa cuando faltas tu,
Falto yo, y falta amor.
Y siento, que si tu no estas a mi lado voy a morir.
Las horas, van pasando tan lentamente en mi reloj,
Porque tu no estas...
(Im sorry baby I miss you so much now,
I wish I had you here)
(Yeah name, this is Optimo,
For the ladies.)
Pasa el invierno y la primavera y el otoño y el verano y yo esperandote,
Con la esperanza de que me perdones lo admito,
Se que cometi un error
Im sorry girl, por el daño que te e causado y te fui infiel.
Perdoname, te prometo cambiar totalmente todo por tu amor
Me haces falta amor
(FDL
)

Ay amor que dolor llevo dentro de mi porque tu no estas,
Si yo por veces ni quiero despertar para mas no sentir,
(Este dolor, por tu amor..)
Consulto con un cardiologo, y le digo que no ay soluccion del dolor
en mi Corazon
Ay amor solo tu puedes curar este dolor en mi corazon,
Im sorry girl, por el daño que te e causado y te fui infiel.
Perdoname, te prometo cambiar totalmente todo por tu amor
