When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

According to the Latin historian Servius, Chiusi is one of the oldest Etruscan cities. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, the city was founded either by the hero Clusius (son of Tyrrhenus, the Lydian king who led the original migration to Etruria) or by Thelemacus, son of Ulysses. This theory is probably a late one based on the Latin name for Chiusi, Clusium, that corresponds to the Etruscan name Clevsin and comes to us in inscriptions from the IV century B.C.. The Roman historian Livy calls the city Chamars but offers no explanation as to the origin of the name.

I agreed with both, but personally I prefer the English, and am more used to seeing this in English texts.
