The name of this article is now back where it started, having had a brief history as the AD 62 Pompeii earthquake. I have a slight preference for the current name, it's how I started it after all, but I have a strong preference for editors who move articles for giving other editors the courtesy of an explanation on the talk page, even better if the move is delayed until after discussion. My other gripe is that in both cases the moving editors have left the name in the article unchanged and done nothing about the incoming links. If this article is moved again without discussion I will revert it back (end of rant). Mikenorton ( talk) 07:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone have a citation for this earthquake's having been in 62 AD? The primary source (Seneca's Naturales quaestiones, chapter 6) says it was in the consulship of G. Memmius Regulus and L. Verginius Rufus ("Nonis Februariis hic fuit motus Regulo et Uerginio consulibus,"), which was in 63 AD (see the linked articles for these consuls). Is this just a typo that has persisted over the years? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antiquegeek ( talk • contribs) 05:11, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick response. It should be noted when relating the disagreement between sources that Seneca was writing his description later the same year (assuming he was correct about its being in AD 63), while Tacitus was writing about it over 40 years later, based on sources of uneven quality, as the last paragraph in the Wikipedia article about him points out (using other known errors as examples).-- Antiquegeek ( talk) 01:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
