What does Arcoscephale mean?

I'd think Arcoscephale's beginning meant something like an arch (or bridge), and cephale might mean head or leader.

Actually, it might be a corruption of Argos, a Greek city on the southeast coast of the Peloponnese, to the northeast of Sparta. According to Wikipedia the word Argos is pre-Hellenic and means something like 'shine' or 'brightly shining'.

So Arcoscephale might mean 'shining heads'. Whether this refers to their bright helmets or their bald heads is for the devs to figure out.

Being a Chinese, I can not recall whom you mean. Could you please make further explanation?

IMO, T'ien Ch'i comes from the Chinese myth concept "Tian Chi", which is the palace for Celestial Beings.

I am also excepting an official declaration .

Google came up with this:

Dynasty: Ming (1368 - 1644 a.d.)
Emperor: Hsi Tsung (1621-1627a.d.)
Reign Title: T'ien Ch'i (1621-1627 a.d.)

Following that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianqi_Emperor

I'm guessing that he may have named his reign after the myth, not the other way around.

I've always thought Arcoscephale meant "end (head) of an arc". This made more sense back when the current MA Arcos was the only one that existed, and there was no "early" Arcoscephale.

Wikipedia gives Tien Chi as "Sky Spear", Taiwanese surface-to-surface ballistic missile.

Hmm... I have never checked the era names before.
It sounds logical now.
The emperor of Tien Chi had given his eunuchs too much power, who were responsible for the corruption of Ming dynasty and the "invasion of barbarians".

For the original meaning of this era name, it could be translated into something like "revealed by heaven".

(Technically speaking, Chinese Pinyin-language has too many homonyms, which leads to confusion even for Chinese themselves.)
