There shouldn't be two separate articles on the administrative division vicus in ancient Rome, as the two are related historically. I see there's now a separate article on the provincial vicus; this is unduly confusing, and undertaken without a proper understanding of Julio-Claudian bureaucratic reorganization. "Rome" of course can mean both Ancient Rome as a political entity, as well as the city. Also, the section on local government within Rome based on the vicus was deleted (this requires expansion) — another indication this was done without sufficient thought. Don't have time today to get into this too much, but would like to see it discussed. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:39, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is debatable. There may be a historical relationship, but an urban political unit and a small town are hardly the same thing. There also needs to be some distinction made in the latter category between the vici (most of them, apparently) that were attached to forts and those that weren't. I put in a little text for this in the "ad hoc settlement" section, but it needs better separation. Eponymous-Archon (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
