Talk:Volubilis

message: I read in a book about morocco written by dutch historian that the word volubilis is taken from the berber word "Alili" which means "oleandor". The moroccan name is almost the same (walili). Read3r 18:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

What does "who acted as regent until the majority of Idris II" mean?

message: Are these ingenious mosaics still exposed to weather and sun? Or are they covered at least? If not, why are the responsible "archeologists" rather destroyer than scientists? They should preserve, not destroy... --178.197.236.93 (talk) 19:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they are still very much exposed to the elements. There isn't any covering for the mosaics. Unfortunately this has led to some bleaching of the colours, as can be seen in e.g. :File:Volubilis mosaic Four Seasons.jpg. This is mostly the fault of the Moroccan government, which has reportedly given only a minimal amount of funding to preserve the site. Prioryman (talk) 23:04, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I think "IMPERATORI IIII" should be translated as "Victorious Commander for the 4th time", not "Emperor for the 4th time": Caracalla was emperor only once, from 198 to 217. Note: Caracalla's full name, as emperor, was Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus, and the "Augustus" was the recognition that he was Emperor.

message: I have added a link to a Manar al-Athar image archive, hosted by the University of Oxford. It has a variety of images of the site from different angles, with attributions so they can easily be used in academic and other work. Viollettay (talk) 11:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
