A fact from Battle of the Rhône Crossing appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that before Hannibal crossed the Rhône River with his Carthaginian forces to battle the Gauls, he sent a detachment under Hanno, son of Bomilcar to cross at a different point upriver for an ambush?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

Consistency check

Most remarkable article. However it need a consistency check, especially of the formatting but also of some of the content - got the right persons for those equivocal Roman names? On the formatting, we need "cite" templates on those notes - dates - (give full cites) and Lazenby appears a few times with different ISBN's - needs systematization. Also I note there are no refs to primary sources. And, some of the refs are still in parenthetical form. The content looks good and there are some nice pics. Attention to these fine points makes the diff between a top article and a sloppy one. Time is not of the essence so take some.Dave (talk) 10:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Souldn't this be the Battle of The Rhone or the Battle of The Rhone Crossing?

Because the current title isn't grammatical in my dialect, and probably isn't grammatical in most dialects of English. 96.231.17.143 (talk) 20:26, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
