Note that the EB article on the topic discusses two separate temples of Piety and then places them in exactly the same area of Rome without noticing that it has. Presumably, pending other sourcing, it's just mistakenly dividing the single temple. —

Comment: Don't worry. You only need to review the sourcing for whichever specific hook you find most interesting. Kindly don't add links to hooks or captions. The point is to drive traffic to the new articles. The curious can click through.
I will review this in the coming days!

The article was expanded more than 5x (in reality probably more than 20x).
The article clearly has over 1500 characters of readable prose.
The article is sourced. I did spot checks on a few sources, and they checked out, but it was not always clear if a source really covered all information contained in the statements before - but this is not an issue for DYK.
The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone and is in every aspect a professional scholarly work.
Concerning close paraphrasing I (and Earwig) did pick up "his son of the same name". This could be rephrased, but I will not make my approval depended on it.
QPQ: Done, even if you jumped in late into the review.
Hook: I find the original and ALT1 hook original and suitable and thus reviewed it:
Original: I find no issues - because the source also states that JC destroyed it, I will not object to the fact that he may have ordered it but had nothing to do with the destruction itself.
ALT1 Again no issues.
Images: No issues detected.
This is quality work - thanks for creating scholarly knowledge on ancient Rome! I approve the Original and the ALT1 hook. While I personally like ALT1 more, I will leave the final choice for the promoter. WatkynBassett (

WatkynBassett: Thanks for the very kind words! I know it doesn't affect the DYK process but (a) remember you can {{ping}}, {{re}}, &c. people so they see your kind words xD and (b) it's unnecessary but helpful to the promoters if you <s>strike</s> the ALTs you don't use so it's a little clearer what they're looking at. Have a good weekend! —

Normally I do not forget that (see my ping for the additional German language sources) but now I did ... thanks for the reminder. Have a pleasant weekend as well!

Just to be clear, the large building in [[File:Theater_of_Marcellus_and_Forum_Olitorium.jpg]] is not the Temple of Piety itself, correct?
