What does AGGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A large earthen mound or rampart, especially one built by the ancient Romans as a fortification or roadbed.
An agger was raised by piling earth and stone, and Roman soldiers built one both to fortify a siege camp and to form the raised bed of a road, with ditches dug along each side for drainage. Archaeologists still use the term today to describe the elevated bank that remains visible where an ancient agger once stood. The word comes directly from Latin and rarely appears outside historical or archaeological writing.
