Areopagus

The name that is transliterated as “Areopagus” in English means “Martial peak.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that depicts the Acropolis and the Council (left hand), while the right hand refers to the public. The Areopagus was part of the Acropolis of Athens where important issues such as politics and culture were discussed. (Source: Missão Kophós )
