Urbs and Bumkins : Residents of a geographical area-A city boy or a country boy

Urbs and Bumkins

Urb  Walled City in Ancient Rome.

Urb the city, especially as a symbol of harsh or busy modern life."to be of the urbs, to be urbane, is to be political and to be civilized"

  • Urb, Its position, at the point where the Volscian Hills reach the coast, leaving no space for passage between them and the sea, commanding the Pomptine Marshes (urbs pron g in paludes, as Livy calls it) and possessing a small harbour, was one of great strategic importance; and it thus appears very early in Roman history.

  • He wrote some good hymns, including "O Throned, 0 Crowned" and a beautiful version of Urbs Beata.




Bumkin
Used to describe someone from the country,  in Australia one who lives in the outback.
