Talk:Hadrumetum

Move this article to a new article on the history of Sousse
As far as I understand Hadrumetum has been continuously inhabited up to the modern settlement called Sousse. If they were not separate settlements, I think this article should be moved to History of Sousse. That article can provide an extensive treatment of the subject, while Sousse can provide a summary of the history and refer to the history article as the main article with a section hatnote template. That's how it's done in the articles Rome and History of Rome or Athens and History of Athens, too. --AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 09:45, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Nah. Your understanding is wrong and Sousse was a separate nearby settlement that subsequently expanded to include the ruins of ancient Hadrumetum. It's not "Athens" and "History of Athens"; it's "Athens" and "Piraeus". Moreover, we go by names for page titles. The common way to talk about this place isn't "Sousse" or "Old Sousse"; it's Hadrumetum (including, for what it's worth, the town's Punic era before it had a Latin name). Again, not "New York" and "History of New York" but "New Amsterdam" and even "New Angoulême". The page should stay where it is, pending a seachange in scholarly phrasing. —  Llywelyn II   22:31, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced codswallop

 * Many records have been found that say the Romans sent a garrison of 5000 soldiers to protect it. They were led by General Septus Loriinus.

As far as Google can tell, those "many records" are all copies of this page spread around the internet. "Loriinus" seems to be a misspelling of "Longus", who was the Republican garrison commander when Caesar landed. Fixt. — Llywelyn II   22:31, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
