Dates vs. locations

Recent change to the ending date (formerly 395) has the intro now reading, "... capitals on the Italian peninsula from 27 BC to 476/1453 AD". This no longer makes sense. NO version of the RE had any capitals on the Italian peninsula after 476.

The former date of 395 had the virtue of referring to the unified empire. After 395, it was never again unified. For readers who are interested in the final decades in the West, this page already directs them appropriately to the WRE page.

I am therefore reverting. If you disagree, please discuss first. If you feel strongly about the "proper" use of the name RE (especially its continuation in the East), please discuss on the Byzantine Empire's talk page. (You will see that you have lots of company.)

(Also fixing dates to BC/AD for consistency. Change everywhere to BCE/CE if you wish.) Jmacwiki (talk) 21:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
