non sequitur

Huh?

The Romans under Lucius Mummius defeated the Achaeans, razed Corinth and dissolved the league. G.T Griffith said the Achaean war 'was a hopeless enterprise, badly led and backed by no adequate reserves of money or men'. Lucius Mummius received the cognomen Achaicus ("conqueror of Achaea") for his role.

Hopeless for whom? Evidently not for the Romans. This is unclear; presumably 'hopeless' from the Achaean POV, but the sentence is placed between two others that deal with the successful Romans. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Celtic shield

The Archaean shield used by the Achaeans was probably not Celtic. Achaea and their known affiliates had no contact with Celts. Proto-Celtic culture as conservatively understood did not extend even into Central Europe except in controversial Indo-European linguistic theory. Language tables show no demonstrated progression between "Insular Celtic" languages and the unknown "Indo-European language". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.172.204 (talk) 13:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The text is referring to the Thureos, a celtic shield, the celts invaded greece and settled in Galatia, and most western hellenistic kingdoms adopted celtic armament in one way or another. I'm removing the Citation Needed on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JirisysKlatoon (talk • contribs) 02:02, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing "controversial" about the Indo-European language family, strongly supported by the vast majority of linguists and historians. Only fringe lunatic groups contest it. 50.111.6.31 (talk) 20:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong link

The link to Megalopolis is incorrect, it links to the general term “Megalopolis” and not to the correct article which is “Megalopolis, Greece” Patsyjasper (talk) 08:22, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
