Talk:Social War (91–87 BC)

message: Did this war begin in 91 or 90 seems to be some confusion. Gradvmedusa 18:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The war started in 91 BC, but because it broke out just before the end of the campaigning season not much happened that year. LuciusHistoricus (talk) 11:49, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

text: The Athenians didn't treat their allies fairly as well. Anyway, this was one between Rome and their Italian allies in 91 - 87 BC. Also called the Marsic War, the Italian War or War of the Allies. LuciusHistoricus (talk) 11:56, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

message: I would like to remind editors that Wikipedia is written for a general audience. As such, abbreviations of sources such as
are not helpful, because unless you're already familiar with these sources you will have no idea what they mean. I can guess that "Diod." is Diodorus Siculus and "App." is Appian - is this correct? But "Auc. Vir. Ill." is completely opaque. Hairy Dude (talk) 13:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

text: If you need help deciphering them, one source of abbreviations is https://oxfordre.com/classics/page/ocdabbreviations. That said, I largely agree: many of those citations are opaque. What I've done is something of a compromise position; I use the OCD abbreviations but -link them to full-form citations. Ifly6 (talk) 14:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

message: I intend on adding sources of documented archaeological evidence to this page in order to supplement what is already here. I want to add citations as well as a section on Pompeian involvement in the Social War, which has very little coverage on this page as of right now. I'm particularly interested in illustrating the aftermath of the Social War through Pompeian history. There's some great evidence for Sulla's bombardment of Pompeii in the walls of the city as well as Pompeian military organization through graffiti. I think this type of evidence would give readers a better idea of what actually happened in the war, rather than just who won and who died. Minervascripps (talk) 00:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
