The word Zone (from Greek ζωνη) originally meant a belt, worn in various forms by ancient Greek men and women, as in the Orthodox priestly Zone (vestment). In Classical Antiquity, this was also extended to cover the idea of dividing the earth into latitudinal belts or Climes. Now the word may refer to a general region or domain in many contexts, including:
