Illustration

[edit]

The "Personification of the Senate" illustration has a caption saying the figure is holding a fasces, but it looks much more like a small banner or pennant, not a bundle of sticks and an axe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.233.82 (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have removed this a couple of times, but a user keeps re-adding it. I will remove it again. Constantine 19:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]

I added quite a lot of information to this page, mostly from Prof Bury's History of the Later Roman Empire Volume 1. I left some of the information such as the bit about Eastern Romans not having as much regard for hereditary positions, although i had never heard of this attitude.

Sorry I've made so many edits, i just keep digging up new info :) Hera52 20:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to modify some of the paragraph which references Bury, since it seems a little too close to the original wording. I'm sure the copyright has expired but if you're simply incorporating original text then it should mabye be stated or something. Vincent-D 10:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
