Talk:Battle of Phoenice

Single source
I just restored the template, because this article is entirely based on Polybius. It's not that I don't trust him, but I do think readers should be warned about this. Ideally, there should be a second source; have any modern authors written about this battle? Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 21:57, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I found this passage in :


 * A new expedition was soon mounted by his [Agron's] widow Teuta in 230. She had more in mind than a mere pillaging raid. The Illyrians planned an assault on Elis and Messene and captured the important city of Phoenice, routing an Epirote army in the process. The shock-waves reverberated through Greece.


 * This is actually inconsistent with the current article, which states that the capture of Phoenice took place in 231... Also the source for this book is again Polybius, but at least it attests to his credibility among modern historians. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 22:12, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding this source. I read through it, and it seems very useful. --Ujkrieger (talk) 09:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


 * For sure the infobox is problematic since Illyrian control lasted only for a very short period in Phoenice and the city was taken back by Epirus.Alexikoua (talk) 19:22, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
