Province

The word began as and is primary used for a city. The province it heads is ancient Latium and modern Lazio, which is sometimes just called by "Rome". This list of "translations of the province" seems highly suspect in having no versions (even in Italian!) of the actual name of the province. I've accordingly removed it here, pending some sort of explanation or expansion:

Should be the same as the translations at Lazio then. —Stephen ^(Talk) 07:57, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the OED provides no instance of people using it to talk about Latium at all. Moving the definition here:

# The [[modern]] [[region]] of [[Lazio]] or the [[historical]] [[province]] of [[Latium]]

Kindly only restore it with some cite and examples. — LlywelynII 06:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Rome

RFV-sense

• "(archaic) Constantinople, the "New Rome"; the Byzantine Empire." Both citations are of "Romes", plural, as a designation for both cities at once. They are not citations where "Rome", singular, refers to Constantinople alone, and they should be moved to Romes. It's plausible there might be citations where "Rome" meant "Constantinople", though; e.g. perhaps there are books that say the peoples of Anatolia "sent tribute to Rome", where the context makes clear that Constantinople is meant.
• "(obsolete) Moscow, the 'Third Rome'." Neither citation uses "Rome" to mean "Moscow", any more than me saying "my friend Ute is the new Pink Floyd" is me using "Pink Floyd" to mean "my friend Ute".
