Talk:Seven hills of Rome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Map
A map would be nice.
Even a hand-drawn one.
Cheers
-- Hmmm...maybe suggesting a hand-drawn one wasn't a good idea.
Especially with this horrible color scheme. I have to differentiate teal and light green....
New image from wikimedia commons added. It's a bit better, but not fantastic.GideonF 18:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Changed map, hope you don't mind. Might it also be good to have this picture up, for the purposes of scale: [1]? Marm(t) 12:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Biblical Reference
I've pruned this section of much rambling, largely unreferenced material that would be better covered in the Book of Revelation article, and has no direct significance to an article on the seven hills of Rome.GideonF 18:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the pruning. I've reinstated the reference that the writer of The Revelation is saint John, however noting his apostleship as opposed to his sainthood. The book of Revelation is not a narration, but (as referenced by the title) is a revelation. S. L. Bonham - 21 November 2006
- I may stick my nose into this one a bit over the long weekend, as there's a bit I just want to check on. This actually falls into an area I'm formally educated in (for once!), and one of my courses while getting a BA in Biblical Studies was The Johannine Literature. I should still have notes squirreled away somewhere, and one of the papers I wrote was on the attribution of the seven-headed beast as Rome. Obviously, in keeping with WP:NOR, I'd not use my own paper, but the references and quotes from peer-reviewed articles. The Dark 14:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- For the time being, I've removed the reference to the apostle John. "Narrator" may not be the perfect word, but modern scholarly opinion does not hold to the view that the author of Revalations was the apostle John.GideonF 17:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
