[edit] Column of Phocas image

The image is nice, but the forum wasn't destroyed in the sack of 846 (or at least, not uniquely). Is there a better image we could use? —Ryan McDaniel 21:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Changed image to one more pertinent. Srnec 02:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! —Ryan McDaniel 14:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Use of the word 'Terror' - is it giving the wrong impression?

My view on this:

Funny that when Rome goes out and terrorizes another city/nation it is a 'conquest' and when the Muslims sack Rome it is terror... i recommend that this word not be used because of the incorecct connotations implied i.e that muslims are terrorists and always were ... the conquest of new lands was a reality of the middle ages, that was carried out by everyone and should be understood as such without adding any subjective inferences except in explicitly opinion based articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.81.222.5 (talk) 08:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Leonine wall

I removed the image whose caption wrongly stated that it showed the Leonine wall (it actually just showed the Vatican city wall). The remnants of the Leonine wall can be found within the border of the Vatican. Gugganij 20:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
