Talk:Battle of Tzirallum

Correcting some apparent inaccuracies
I have edited the article to correct a couple of apparent inaccuracies. Firstly, Lactantius is clear that the battle happens on the Campus Serenus between the first and second stations west of Heraclea Perinthus (the modern-day town of Marmara Ereğlisi). A previous editor has confused this location with Heraclea Sintica in modern Bulgaria.

Second, another editor also appears to have suffered a geographical misunderstanding when adding coordinates 41.28472°N, 31.41472°W that place the battle near Karadeniz Ereğli instead of Marmara Ereğlisi. I have adjusted the coordinates to 40.96972°N, 27.95528°W to match those for Marmara Ereğlisi, although they could be moved west to the actual battle site if a reliable modern reference for that can be found.

If any reader feels that these changes are unwarranted, I'd be happy to discuss them here. Rupert Clayton (talk) 00:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
