Question[edit]

how long did the 2nd b.c. and the 10th b.c. (centuries) last?

Depends on who wants to know I guess. Wetman 00:10, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Extensive "events[edit]

How extensive should the "events" paragraph be? Take a look at 3rd century BC and then note that there is also articles for its decades: 280s BC, 270s BC, 260 BC, 250s BC (just to mention a few). They are all (almost) empty of information.

What I'm saying is that I wonder where information really should be put. /Tense (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roman/Chinese Bias?[edit]

It seems the only relevant things that happened for humanity on the 2nd Century are reduced to Roman and Chinese, this seems awfully biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:484:1F7D:AB00:E542:8DA:7A68:1688 (talk) 02:57, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

World map images[edit]

The first two images in the article, the world maps, appear way to large on mobile. They need to be scaled back. LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmission∆ °co-ords° 20:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've boldly reduced these images to a more standard size. LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmission∆ °co-ords° 20:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
