    Error Corrections

    That is noted for 308 AD Indeed just a flat out error... the line has been removed rather than edited. Thanks. Point taken... I'll make a slight clarification (in addition to correcting the typo). Thanks! The 308 note in the timeline (about Eusebius replacing Marcellus) looks like it was meant to follow up on the comment about Marcellus in 307 So if the one is just going the other probably should as well. Fine by me, anyway. The newly adjusted text in the Syrian history says: The rephrasing I suggested in my earlier message included a couple of changes which I didn't specifically mention in my comments immediately after the rephrasing, which were based on correcting Nebuchadnezzar's identity as a Babylonian king. So now if those changes were incorporated it would be more like: "The Assyrians under Tiglath-Pileser III overran Syria in the 8th century BC and were soon followed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar roughly a century and a half later." I had brought up the bit about the 140 year timing earlier because I thought it wasn't clear how that aspect of the issue should be reflected in the text, but I was actually more interested in having the correct naming. Sorry to have caused confusion. Circles are so neat, the way they keep going back to where they started, huh? : )

    Error Corrections

    I noticed a couple of issues in my browsings: In the page at: http://www.unrv.com/empire/timeline-4th-century.php That is noted for 308 AD. Among the several bishops named Eusebius in the fourth century the one known for being a historian was Eusebius of Caesarea (AKA Eusebius Pamphili). He didn't become a bishop until 313 or 314, and wasn't bishop in Rome. It seems that the main significance of Eusebius of Rome involved the interference of Maxentius in church affairs. Conflicts within the church were causing disruptions so Marcellus was removed, and a few months later Eusebius of Rome was also removed. Henry Wace's Dictionary of Christian Biography tells the story, which involved disagreements about reaccepting people who had denied Christianity during Diocletian's persecution. In the page at: http://www.unrv.com/provinces/syria.php I'm guessing that should say "constant strain", and then have a comment about how "The Assyrians under Tiglath-Pileser III overran Syria in the 8th century BC and were soon followed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in the next century." It was about 140 years later, so I'd suggest not just saying "a century later", though the influence of the Babylonians may have been felt before they arrived.

    Welcome and Introduce Yourself Here

    Hello everyone! I've looked around some in different sections, but obviously I haven't done much writing as of yet. I originally ran across the UNRV site while seeking information about the Roman provinces and their capitals, but of course there is a lot more here than that and I look forward to seeing more (though it may take me a while to be able to). Thanks for having me in!
