Joan hopes to leave city life behind and move to a more agrarian [əˈɡrɛriən] region where she plans to raise lambs and grow heirloom vegetables.
agrarian [əˈɡrɛriən]
adj
Something described as agrarian has to do with farms and farming.
Both acre and agrarian come from the Latin noun ager and the Greek noun agrós, meaning "piece of land; field." (You can probably guess that agriculture is another descendant.)

Historic Centre of Siena [ˈsjɛna] - Italy
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/717
Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city. Its inhabitants pursued their rivalry with Florence right into the area of urban planning. Throughout the centuries, they preserved their city's Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. During this period the work of Duccio, the Lorenzetti brothers and Simone Martini was to influence the course of Italian and, more broadly, European art. The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of ar...

Rock Paintings of the Sierra de San Francisco - Mexico
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/714
From c. 100 B.C. to A.D. 1300, the Sierra de San Francisco (in the El Vizcaino reserve, in Baja California) was home to a people who have now disappeared but who left one of the most outstanding collections of rock paintings in the world. They are remarkably well-preserved because of the dry climate and the inaccessibility of the site. Showing human figures and many animal species and illustrating the relationship between humans and their environment, the paintings reveal a highly sophisticated

"The battle scenes are a Hollywood mishmash of medieval melees [ˈmeɪˌleɪ], meaningless cannonades [ˌkænəˈneɪdz - a period of continuous heavy gunfire], and World War I-style infantry advances." — Franz-Stefan Gady, Foreign Policy, 2 Dec. 2023
melee [ˈmeɪˌleɪ]
noun
Melee refers to a confused fight or struggle, especially one involving hand-to-hand combat.
English has no shortage of words for confused and noisy fights, some (fray, brawl, scrap) more common than others (donnybrook, fracas).
Melee tends to be encountered more often in written rather than spoken English, but it is far from obscure, and has seen increasing use especially in the context of video games featuring some form of hand-to-hand combat.
