Circa (from Latin, meaning 'around, about') - frequently abbreviated c., ca., or ca (and less frequently circ. or cca.) – signifies "approximately" in several European languages (and as a loanword in English), usually in reference to a date.[1]Circa is widely used in historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known.


When used in date ranges, circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty.
Example: George Washington years are:



  • 1732–1799 or 1732–99: Both years are known precisely.

  • c. 1732 – 1799: Only the end year is known accurately; the start year is approximate.

  • 1732 – c. 1799: Only the start year is known accurately; the end year is approximate.

  • c. 1732 – c. 1799: Both years are approximate.

Troll (Warhammer)

Troll s are mythical creatures found in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. Contents 1 Description 2 Varieties 2.1 Stone Trolls 2.2 River Trolls 2.3 Chaos Trolls Description Trolls are usually depicted as large, ugly, clumsy brutes, with thick skin. Though they vary greatly in appearance, they are all big, stupid and hungry. Trolls are able to vomit up the contents of their hideous stomach at will, which is particularly bad as troll digestive acids are among the most corrosive substances in the Warhammer world. The metabolism of trolls is such that although apparently knocked down and killed they can regenerate and recover unless decapitated. Trolls are not numerous nor organized enough to form armies of themselves. They are employed by some, such as the Orcs & Goblins because their stupidity makes them of excellent value. Varieties Besides the bog standard "common troll," there are a number of differen...
