  • rhombus (also known as a rhomb) is a quadrilateral in which all of the sides are of equal length. More colloquially it may be described as a diamond or lozenge shape. A rhombus can be made from the two "equoangular trillitter[s]" (equilateral triangles) pictured in the diagram of ALP on page 293.
  • Romulus and Remus: (771 BC- 717 BC Romulus) (771 BC- 753 BC Remus), the traditional founders of Rome, appeared in Roman mythology as the twin sons of the priestess Rhea Silvia, fathered by the god of war Mars.
  • Rome wasn't built in a day (proverb)
  • rebus (Latin: by things): a word puzzle using pictures to represent words or parts of words. Used in heraldry (when it is called canting) as a hint to the name of the owner of a coat of arms.
