Unfortunately, I don't think this has been expanded x5 in the 7 days prior to nomination, so I fear it may have to be rejected, unless the article can be expanded further? Thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 08:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

I believe this article would better serve the reader if it directly quoted the primary sources, rather than fobbed the reader off to another source to find those passages. Doing this is not citing primary sources, it's helping the reader to go beyond the article for further information. -- llywrch (talk) 21:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, Tacitus & co. are secondary sources - none of them were alive at 33 AD. Juxlos (talk) 11:10, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically you are right. But if you wrote an article based entirely on Tacitus, Suetonius & Cassius Dio, other Wikipedians would criticize the article for relying too much on primary sources. -- llywrch (talk) 22:18, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blame the Romans for not having published an Imperial Journal of Finance by 33 AD. Juxlos (talk) 02:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
