Re: the rewrite of 20th April - the previous article had become a bit of a hodge-podge of facts without much structure, and undue emphasis had been placed on the Vesuvian eruption and Pliny's (one letter) dealing with Christianity. I used the OCD and Penguin edition of Pliny's letters (the intro is excellent) to verify and add to this article, hopefully ending up with a more balanced account. Please let me know if you feel there are any problems with this. fluoronaut 11:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I added a paragraph on the letter involving the Christians. Historians generally regard them as what set the Roman Empire's policy toward Christians for the rest of the pagan period, so it deserves some attention. --LawrenceTrevallion 01:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
While I do think it is an interesting fact, worth mentioning in the article, should his account of Vesuvius' eruption be listed in the Career section? LawrenceTrevallion 01:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed, and no idea why it's there since it is already mentioned further down the page. I have removed it. fluoronaut 20:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
