Good idea to break out the ships; and yes, they should probably have their own article, I guess; which would allow us to group them with other such ancient ships, like the Vasa, the Roman ships of Pisa, etc. A good deal more can be said about the ships but I'm feeling awfully lazy this morning. (The Museo dei Navi di Nemi is the only place I've seen an ancient Roman bilge pump, for example! although I wish my photograph were better....)

The minor details, on the other hand, I reverted: keeptogether spaces prevent awkward line breaks (sentence beginning with "A", and all the rest of the sentence on the next line; numbers separated from their noun, etc.) Also, "18th century churches" is not correct English — 18th‑century churches" is what's needed. (Rule: Nth century when substantive, Nth‑century when adjectival. "Church built in the 18th century; an 18th‑century church.") Bill 10:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and forgot to mention it — haste makes waste! — I reverted Diana Nemorensis, because, though it does not have an article on Wikipedia yet, it should eventually; and — largely because of Nemi and Frazer etc. — that's not the same as a generic article on Artemis. Bill 11:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
