Zirkle
"despite his rescue attempt, Pliny never came within miles of Mount Vesuvius"
Obviously not, since Stabiae is 10 miles from Vesuvius. So what's new here?
And is Zirkle an established/credible source for Pliny matters? 2A02:AA1:1629:6E2B:AC2C:7A63:B3E9:8D45 (talk) 10:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Vespasian bust
It's very obviously not a contemporary work (as noted in the fine print on the media page). So why use it? And what does an image of Vespasian add anyway? 2A02:AA1:1629:6E2B:AC2C:7A63:B3E9:8D45 (talk) 10:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
