WHAT DOES OLIFANTE MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Olifante

Olifant is the name of a sound instrument of the Middle Ages, a kind of horn made of ivory of elephants, from which comes its name. It was used in the army and in hunts to emit signals and simple sonorous calls, since it does not have orifices for the production of scales. Usually they were taken in battles by the commanders, to gather or to warn the troops, being one of the emblems of the command. They could be richly decorated with carvings or applications of metal ornaments. The oliphant is mentioned in the Song of Roland. In this famous poem, Roland, a Frankish knight, carries with him an oliphant while serving in the rear of Charlemagne's army. When they were attacked, at the Battle of Roncesvales, Oliver tells Rolando to sound the oliphant to call for help, but the hero refuses to do so. When he finally agrees, it's too late, the battle is almost gone. Then he tries to break his oliphant and his sword so they do not fall into the hands of the enemy.
