This article appears in Volume V19, Page 912 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
NUORO , a town and episcopal see of
Sardinia
 ,
Italy
 , in the province of Sassari, 382 m. E. of
Macomer
  by
rail
 . Pop. (1901) 6739. It is situated 1905 ft. above sea-level in the
east
  central portion of the
island
 , amid fine scenery. Nuoro was the
capital
  of a province from 1848 to 186o. It is connected by road with
Fonni
 , Bitti and Orosei. An inscription discovered in situ about 13 M. W. of Nuoro in 1889, near Orotelli, has the letters FIN NVRR (fin(es)Nufr. . . ), which are explained as referring to the boundaries of the territory of Nuoro in Roman times, showing (what was not known before) that the name and the
place
  are of Roman origin (F. Vivanet in Notizie degli scavi, 1889, 202). (T. As.)
