Useless "References". Article practically unsourced as of now.

[edit]

The "References" are apparently truncated orphans, copied & pasted from a different page, with abbreviations nobody can understand w/o having a Sherlock Holmes-type talent. It seems that the 2008 creator of this article is Neddyseagoon, who abruptly stopped editing in May 2017 - I hope he's OK. He wrote at 16:19, 25 January 2008: "Created page with 'In ancient Rome". It might mean that in 2008 the abbreviations corresponded to notes & bibliography entries on the ancient Rome page. Anyone interested in looking it up?

Done, sorted. It was all based on Platner's LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS at Lacus Curtius. It's almost all material from 1900-1910, and I would be surprised if all pre-WWI interpretations are still accepted after > 1 century. Arminden (talk) 23:31, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
