:I'm not very keen on Lendering. It doesn't appear he's has a PhD and his BMCR review of ''Shadows in the Desert'' was rubbished by the rest of the field: https://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2009/2009.02.02/. I've used his website from time to time because it's one of the few online translations for the ''Periochae''. However, I generally try not to cite him directly. There are better and more reliable sources at hand. As to the P&Gs, taking everything most generously, Livius.org should be used as [[WP:SPS]].

== [[Castra]], again ==

A notice was previously posted to WT:CGR on [[castra]] in [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome/Archive 45#Castra|February this year]]. Comment is again requested on it. Specifically as to three matters:

# Is there a distinction between ''castra'' and ''castrum'' in Latin where one means a fortress and a camp? My immediate thought was to look at the ''OLD'' and it does not seem to make such a distinction – https://archive.org/details/aa.-vv.-oxford-latin-dictionary-1968/page/282/mode/2up

# Is there such a distinction in English?

# If the answer to either is {{tq|yes}}, which should the article reflect? (Or, if the answer is {{tq|no}}, then what should it then say?)

There were recent major changes to the article and discussion has again flared up. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6|talk]]) 18:08, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
