Battle of Lugdunum - biggest Roman battle?
[edit]"This battle is said to be the largest, most hard fought and bloodiest of all clashes between Roman forces."
Who says it? Even by Cassius Dio's high estimate of 300000 total numbers, Phillipi still has it comfortably beat at 410000 total. This is strange because I've seen the claim that Lugdunum is the largest Roman engagement elsewhere too. Unless that is a mistake inherited from this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.238.189 (talk) 13:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Mention of Quintus Aemilius Laetus is wrong
[edit]Under the section "The Battle" it is claimed that the cavalry was led by Quintus Aemilius Laetus. However, on that persons personal bio it is stated that he died several years before the battle and thus cannot have taken part. I have no ability to fact check this - maybe someone else can.
Thanks & have a good one! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.47.25.17 (talk) 19:55, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
