Set the scene.
Fgura’s council records six Punic tombs discovered in Liedna Street. Their terracotta objects included decorated vessels accompanying the dead.
Here’s the twist.
It explains that floral designs on the pottery inspired the street’s name. Liedna is a climbing plant with dark green leaves.
Why it still matters.
Picture a pattern travelling from an ancient vessel to a modern address. A street name can commemorate a discovery beneath the pavement rather than a famous person above it.
