@ Gog the Mild: I am 100% sure; the second "p. 15" in the "Hoyos 2007, p. 15; p.15, n. 1." citation is a repeat. On page 15 of the source I don't see "p 15. p. 15" can you pointed that out to me? If it's not a repeat what should it be considered then? Cheers. CPA-5 ( talk) 21:18, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Did a cheeky little post-furlough, drive-by ce; auto ed, cite scan, dupe wiki search, rm ref = harv as it's now redundant in the template structure, tidied the odd typo and grammatical solecism. Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 08:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Searches are indicating that "Adis" is the common name (spelling) for the location and that "battle of A" (aggregating both spellings) should not be capped in prose per
MOS:CAPS since it is not consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources

Seeing as Regulus became consul in 256 BCE, and his consulship was prorogued into 255 after the battle of Adys, which was the culmination of his winter fighting in north Africa, then surely the battle was in late 256 / early 255, not late 255.
Furthermore, his downfall to Xanthippus was in Spring of 255 BCE, according the wikipedia article about the battle of the Bagradas river, as well as the JSTOR article on the downfall of Regulus. I'm happy to be corrected if I've got the wrong end of the stick! Awoogamuffin ( talk) 00:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
