Talk:The Conquest of the Italian Peninsula by the Carpatho - Danubians

External link - Time Magazine
There was an External link section in the article with this one link:

Persons visiting these links would find interesting information about the early Romanians but not (in my quick scan) anything about early Latin coming from the Balkans. But I'm leaving them anyway.
