Sperlonga sculptures[edit]

Head of Odysseus from Sperlonga

  • ... that in 26 AD the Emperor Tiberius was nearly killed when viewing the Sperlonga sculptures (detail pictured), which he may have commissioned?

  • Length fine. Age ok - was at first created from Nominator's userpage or his/her sandbox and was moved from there on nomination date per article history. No copyvios detected. But can the citation be placed closer to the hook fact cited from offline source that is here being accepted in good faith? Can use with image for DYK. Other images compliments the texts in article. - AnakngAraw (talk) 18:15, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
The first part of the hook is covered by its own section, with quotes in the article and fully online sources. The 2nd part also has its own section, with refs from several sources, then there's note 32. Not sure what you want here. Johnbod (talk) 19:27, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Was just look for a citation to be placed at end of the phrase: "nearly killing Tiberius,". Otherwise, this is really indeed ready to be DYKd. - AnakngAraw (talk) 03:13, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Don't these two quotes do it? Sperlonga_sculptures#Accounts_of_the_fall_in_AD_26 They are all the sources there are. Please don't expect all the hook citations to be in the lead! Johnbod (talk) 03:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
