The Latin word rubico comes from the adjective \"rubeus\", meaning \"red\". The river was so named because its waters are colored red by mud deposits. It was key to protecting Rome from Civil War.\nThe idiom \"Crossing the Rubicon\" means to pass a point of no return, and refers to Julius Caesar's army's crossing of the river in 49 BC, which was considered an act of insurrection. Because the course of the river has changed much since then, it is impossible to confirm exactly where the Rubicon flowed when Caesar and his legions crossed it.\nDuring the Roman republic, the river Rubicon marked the boundary between the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul to the north and Italy proper (controlled directly by Rome and its socii allies) to the south....","link":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/tag\/rubicon\/","name":"Rubicon","slug":"rubicon","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/29525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=29525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
