Roman Empire[edit]

Please do not change the year of the end of the empire. There was a major discussion about it and you have to respect the decision. Dimboukas (talk) 12:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me. I respectfully disagree with the date given.[edit]

Do you share any of Romanides' ideas about the "original Greek-speaking Romans"? ;) The rest is true, though, of course. 3rdAlcove (talk) 20:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that by tradition Rome was founded by refugees from Anatolia I guess you could say that. Please try to understand that the author is probably thinking and writing (his translation) in Greek. Romanides views might be founded in Greek propaganda. I have not read all of it just yet. Had there been any truth in history Roman arms would have freed Greek cities not raised them to the ground. I don't know much about this man besides that website. He seems to consider himself more roman than greek. Greeks did call themselfs Roman until the revolution in the 17th century.

If I or anyone else edits the date of the true fall of the Roman Empire to 1453 AD do we get banned? --Titus001 (talk) 02:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mean 19th century (18XX = 19th). Yes, Romanides certainly has some 'eccentric' views on the origins of Rome (though I believe some of them can be found in Roman legend; it's irrelevant wrt the rest of the site, anyhow). The problem most likely arises from the historiographical approach of "Roman vs Byzantine" re the fall so you'll just have to convince the editors who disagree. I'm not sure about your timezone but happy May 29th, nonetheless. ;) 3rdAlcove (talk) 06:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the discussion of the end year of Roman Empire, please see the section at the bottom of Talk:Roman_Empire.--Wengier (talk) 22:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Eastern Roman Empire[edit]

I'm sorry for bothering you, but since I noticed in the past that your interest about the history of the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire, and I thought you might want to know that there is a request for renaming the article "History of the Eastern Roman Empire" to "History of the Byzantine Empire". However, there's no problem if you're too busy to participate. Cody7777777 (talk) 10:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
