[edit] Split in two?
Surely this article should be split into two separate ones? These are two separate monuments... - PocklingtonDan 11:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Possibly it could. They are very close togther, they are both linked to Galerius and I visited them at the same time, so it seemed logical to write about them together. But I don't object to the article being split. Adam 11:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'd wait until there's enough material in both to warrant a split that won't result in 2 stubs. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- These are closely related in earlier scholarship and are integral elements of the Galerius Complex in Thessaloniki, so I do not see a problem with them remaining together. I added a note for the Palace, which might profitably have its own section under a Galerius Arch, Palace, and Rotunda article or some such.--Nefasdicere 03:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rotunda was a temple
Although the guidebooks still repeat the idea that this was meant to be a tomb, the current scholarly opinion is that it was a temple (god uncertain). I will add some biblio later this week for both monuments. It would be good to rewrite the intro and Rotunda section to reflect current thinking, while preserving reference to the earlier ideas. I will do this unless there are major objections.--Nefasdicere 03:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rotunda in Bulgaria
The page Rotunda of St. George redirects here. But there's also a Rotunda by the same name in Sofia, also built in the 4th century. Zero76 03:26, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
