Ancient?
Really?
From Wiki - "Ancient History covers all continents inhabited by humans in the 3,000 BC – 500 AD period."
Even 500 AD is pushing it IMO - but 630 AD is certainly not 'Ancient'

message: In some sources Salman Pak is said to be a different name for the city of Madain/Ctesiphon, while in other sources it says that Salman Pak is a village neighboring Madain. Does anyone have a definite answer? Pats243 01:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The map seems to show Ctesiphon on the left bank of the Euphrates, which is wrong. It should be on the left bank of the Tigris. 86.149.8.107 15:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Map

message: I expanded / created the article on Al-Mada'in, because I think it's worth distinguishing them - Al-Mada'in is the broader metropolis / urban area, whereas Ctesiphon was one of the cities in it, so Al-Madain would be Ctesiphon and it's suburbs, or Seleucia and it's suburbs, etc. (depending of the period we're talking about).
What would you think about moving (or copying?) some of the material from the Ctesiphon article to Al-Mada'in? flammifertalk 17:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seperate article for Al-Mada'in? 

message: ... because I think it deserves an article of it's own. (plus hey, you can see it on Google earth!); I moved a couple paragraphs from the "Palaces of Ctesiphon" section here to over there. They didn't really fit here, and I guess they were recently moved from a seperate article, right? Anyway, they were slightly redundant with the rest of the article  (at least on the history and locations bit), so i also reintegrated a bit into the main article. flammifertalk 08:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New article for Taq-i Kisra 

message: Is there any way of verifiying the date of 1864 assigned to the first photograph of the palace ruins? I ask because I happened to be looking at Hugh Kennedy's The Early Arab Conquests, which contains the same photo but dates it to 1912. Given that parts of the palace apparently collapsed in the 1880s, this is of some significance.

message: How could the books be thrown to the Euphrates, when Ctesiphon is at the side of the Tigris? I've corrected it. If someone has a reason to revert it, please clarify said reason here.
Can someone please provide any credible citation for this claim. i Have never heard of "Library of Ctesiphon" being burned/destroyed by the Arabs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farhad.tajik (talk • contribs) 04:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I know that the Latin and Greek pronunciations of Ctesiphon are straightforward, but is there any consensus on its pronunciation in English?  When I first heard the name in a Roman history course taught by a Latin professor, he said it as "stɛsəfan".  Going by the Greek, though, it seems that "stisəfan" would also be likely.  What about historians in the UK or elsewhere in the English-speaking world? Tsunomaru (talk) 23:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno about a consensus. I just removed this——from the lead sentence. Unlike Polybius, this is something where we should have a pronunciation guide but we need to have reliable sources for it, not just people's best guesses. We also need some explanation on what that κ was doing there in the first place if the original name was just T~ and Greek has a perfectly good Τ sitting around to start its words with. — LlywelynII 06:37, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
