Talk:Baiae

message: After having edited the part about the castle to the best of my findings (all sources have been linked) I think it might need recluttering as I only found later there might actually be two different castles which are both referred to as either 'castle di Baja' or 'araganose castle' in different sources over time. The first castle being :it:Castello Aragonese (Baia) and the other being :it:Castello Aragonese (Ischia). It took me some time to unravel due to the fact that the English wiki only has a page on 1 of the 2. I'll remove my edits regarding the castle and reset the wiki to a prior state.   --BoschA (talk) 07:51, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs extra work

message: I think your article is well organized and has many details. The floating bridge part made me laugh. I also liked the see also section.
I feel that there might be too many distracting links. Do we need to have a link to 'corruption', 'hedonistic', 'saunas','elegies', etc? Those just seem to be words, and if the reader can't understand they could just use a dictionary.  
'Things had obviously not changed much'. I would avoid using 'obviously'. this seems to take away the objective nature of this article. Also, the TA's might not like that. I remeber getting points taken off an essay when i wrote somthing similar; the reason was on the grouds of it being arrogant.  64.241.37.140 20:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Good effort so far, but the so-called Temple of Mercury, the bath complex, is missing. The dome was after all the widest in the world until construction of the Pantheon. See: List of world's largest domes. Regards Gun Powder Ma 17:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: There is an underground temple complex at Baia that some believe to have been an initiatory site into the Mysteries and an "Oracle of the Dead".  It was explored by Robert Temple and Michael Baigent in the early 2000's, who believe that ancient writers like Strabo mention it. 91.32.74.245 (talk) 06:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The link to Thrasyllus takes you to a guy that would have been approximately 500 years old at the time of Caligula. 
I assume the correct link is to Thrasyllus_of_Mendes although that article says "Thrasyllus predeceased the Emperor, and did not live to see the realization of his prediction that Caligula would succeed", which seems to be the opposite of "astrologer Thrasyllus’ prediction that he had "no more chance of becoming emperor than of riding a horse across the Gulf of Baiae.""
