Talk:Kitos War

message: Is there a source for the name form "Quintus Lucius Quietus"? I found only evidence for "Lusius" or "Lucius Quietus". WolfgangRieger 21:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: As per Humus_sapiens, I posted the casualty info that I could find. Anyone else that can add to either Roman, Greek, or Jewish losses, please update and post scholarly reference. Thank you. --Jtpaladin 20:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The numbers you have posted are incredibly unrealistic. If those are the only ones you could find then I would suggest either not including them or including qualifiers and adding ambiguity about their accuracy.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 18:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Moshe, those numbers came from the Jewish Encyclopedia and were approved by Humus_sapiens. Is the Jewish Encyclopedia lying? No other source has been located that disputes those numbers and you've been here long enough to know that multiple citations are not needed to support a fact. Your actions are disgusting and unscholarly. If you have a problem with this matter, I suggest you speak to Humus_sapiens. Jtpaladin 14:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Those numbers do indeed seem quite unrealistic.  While I will not completely discount them, I think additional source(s) would help confirm their legitimacy.  My reasoning is that by that time in history, the romans had already become quite hostile toward Judaism, and the numbers may be exaggerated as a result of this hostility.

message: This article includes sections of text quoted directly from the Jewish encyclopedia. Although references are given the relevant passages should be rewritten.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.205.224 (talk) 13:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be something with the Dio Cassius quote that states it might come from a biased observer? His text is displayed as if it was full of facts from an objective reporter. His claims seem to be grossly exaggerated and I think it certainly plausible that he was embellishing them due to his own biases.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.240.55 (talk) 22:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I am surprised that no one mentioned yet the article by Alexander Fuks, that collects all available information from the papyri e.t.c.
I will have liked to create an account, read some information texts, add the reference... But I am a bit pressed for time. So..., if anyone from those that have read it agrees that it should be mentioned, here's the reference:
Aspects of the Jewish Revolt in A.D. 115-117
Alexander Fuks
The Journal of Roman Studies
Vol. 51, Parts 1 and 2 (1961), pp. 98-104

message: Since the current title, "Kitos War," has very little recognition in academic circles, it is my suggestion that the title of this article be changed to "Second Jewish-Roman War." Any comments?Davidbena (talk) 23:01, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

message: The second sentence of the two quoted here doesn't make sense, but it could just be a question of re-punctuation. Does anyone have the original 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia to verify it?
