[edit] Which year?
On the List of Kings of Rome page it says Numa ruled until 674 BC, but on this page it says he died in 673 BC. Is this a dates mix-up or did he give up thr throne a year before he died?--
- OCD sez 673, any 674s should be fixed to be consistent. (Not that it matters a whole lot, this person's life being more legend than fact...) Stan 21:29, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- The Roman new year was not on the same date as ours and so a Roman year (from the foundation of the city) overlaps with our years. As he may well never existed, as you say, it isn't that important but the same problem will apply to most dates of this period.Dejvid 12:14, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- This article offers its synthesized mythology, presented without sources, as if every assertion were history. It would take some tuning to bring this up to concert pitch. -Wetman 19:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Probably because it's based on ancient sources retelling what were already legends. — Laura Scudder ☎ 21:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
