- 17:3017:30, 10 July 2024diff hist −4 mOnomaris →top: no italic for the English name of a people
- 17:2917:29, 10 July 2024diff hist +8 Onomaris →top: I'm assuming this means by name?

- 14:0914:09, 10 July 2024diff hist +196 Venus Verticordia structure; also, even if citations had been properly placed, much of this hews too close to the original word of the sources, so will try to rework

- 17:2717:27, 9 July 2024diff hist +83 Prometheus caption for previous image, which I'm neither for nor againstcurrent
- 17:2317:23, 9 July 2024diff hist −178 Prometheus good faith edit, but there are better modern images of Prometheus: what's special about this one, which is not a great image as such? Also, the caption is inappropriate in the WP voiceTag: Undo
- 16:3116:31, 9 July 2024diff hist +22 Venus Verticordia epithet
- 15:5315:53, 9 July 2024diff hist −30 Venus Verticordia Venus is a virgin goddess? This may be a misunderstanding of what Roman chastity is and why Verticordia was associated with "respectably" married women. A "chaste" matron like Sulpicia is one who loves and desires her husband monogamously (like Lucretia), not one who doesn't have sex. The etiology of wanton Vestals is muddling things a bit
- 14:5514:55, 9 July 2024diff hist +40 Venus Verticordia This source was originally floated detached from anything, and though I assume it goes with the material without citations, for now I'm just parking it here
- 14:5014:50, 9 July 2024diff hist +10 Venus Verticordia subhead

- 13:2413:24, 9 July 2024diff hist −14 Amafinius wrong stub template; not a Greek; did not write in Greek; no Greek context mentioned in articlecurrent
- 13:2213:22, 9 July 2024diff hist 0 Amafinius other way around; pretty sure Amafinius translated the Greek word into Latin and not into English
- 13:1813:18, 9 July 2024diff hist −14 Rabirius (Epicurean) wrong stub template; Rabirius has a Roman name and is notable because he was a Roman philosopher who wrote in Latin, and the word "Greek" at the moment doesn't even appear in the article; unsurprisingly, we have no "Roman philosopher" stub templatecurrent

- 02:3102:31, 9 July 2024diff hist −364 Glossary of ancient Roman religion →cinctus Gabinus: Claimed by whom? The Romans themselves, or Bonfante?
- 02:2502:25, 9 July 2024diff hist +163 Glossary of ancient Roman religion →cinctus Gabinus: not seeing the promised discussion on this; it seems pretty standard, and not helpful in this instance to drag in the antique Smith's, which was never a starting point for this glossary as it was for many articles on Classical antiquity

- 18:5318:53, 8 July 2024diff hist −142 Venus Verticordia there seems to be a lot of uncited material here, and the sentence I'm deleting is unknown to the article on the Vestals and makes no sense, since the Vestals did not manage the money supply nor the treasury

- 18:1418:14, 8 July 2024diff hist +164 Sexuality in ancient Rome →Phallic sexuality: not to yield to the impulse to over-illustrate the article, but these three guys are just too comical
- 17:1517:15, 8 July 2024diff hist +28 October Horse the removal of this category was in error, since the category page clearly states that "This category is for landmarks, religious activities, and events located in the Campus Martius in ancient Rome," and even more deeply erroneous is not to understand the inextricable connection between topography, procession, and festival locations in the city of Rome, which is key to the October Horse and its accretions of meaningcurrent

- 17:1417:14, 7 July 2024diff hist −33 Roman mythology →Nature of Roman myth: this doesn't need a citation in a caption; that's just what the name "Iulus" is for, and his linked article covers this; and if you seriously need a citation, it's quite easy to find one
- 17:1117:11, 7 July 2024diff hist +59 Roman mythology →Other myths: the moral of the story in Roman eyes is the willing return, not the self-preserving escape (I get that self-sacrifice is difficult to grasp in our own day)
