Inaccuracy

[edit]

The text above is poor (and sometimes incomprehensible) English: not good enough for Wikipedia. The text of the main article is clearly wrong, since Marcus Aurelius (161-180) reigned over a hundred years before the Diocese of Africa was created by Diocletian (284-305), and I have grave doubts about the idea of the province being called Hispania Nova. What is the authority for Hispania Nova (or is it just an invention of a Spanish patriot)? Mark O'Sullivan 16:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. --Ecemaml 00:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
