The Meta Romuli (on the left) in the Stefaneschi Triptych by Giotto

... that Pope Alexander VI Borgia conceded a plenary indulgence to those willing to work on the demolition of the Meta Romuli (pictured on the left)? Source: "Fu cosi' che papa Alessandro VI, in vista dell'imminente Giubileo, concesse l'indulgenza plenaria alla manovalanza volontaria..." Petacco, p.36

Reviewed: I will do it ASAP.

@Alessandro57: New enough and long enough. QPQ needed. Hook is interesting and in article, but must assume good faith as it is offline. (As a note, I'd like to suggest that you look at my minor copyediting changes to see a few areas where your English needed a bit more revision to make it idiomatic.) Ping me when you have completed a QPQ. Raymie (t • c) 02:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymie:,QPQ done! BTW, thanks a lot for your copyedit: as native Italian, my english is far from perfect... Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 17:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the tick! I'm glad the copyedit is useful to you. :) Raymie (t • c) 18:13, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Date it was constructed

The current version of this article contains the statement "The Meta Romuli was a monumental burial erected in the Roman age," but could we be a little more specific? That age lasted from the 8th century BC through the 5th century AD, the better part of a millennium. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:23, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for its destruction?

A pope ordered its destruction in order for a road to built (Via Alessandrina)? Could we add additional information about that process, where the building material or artwork went after demolition, as well as any contemporary commentary or debate about said demolition? 174.28.185.241 (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
