  • Support-You may wish to expand the lead a bit and a paragraph under Background does not have a cite but other than that, this article looks very good.-Red4tribe (talk) 00:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I addressed nearly all the concerns for the citations with a few exceptions. The Romans, according to Plutarch, did indeed plunder the city and considering that the people had been forcibly moved to Tigranakert, it might not be so difficult to understand that many of them wished to go back to wherever they came from. The running charge request is addressed directly at the end of the sentence (i.e., Cowan and Hook. Roman Battle Tactics). The tidbit on "chemical weapons" is written by a respectful archaeologist Warwick Ball (see a review of the cited work here). Nevertheless, I qualified the remark to solely express Ball's opinion. --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 01:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
