Stadium disaster death toll
editWhere are we getting the "20,000 dead and wounded out of the total audience of 50,000" part from? Tacitus said, "Fifty thousand persons were maimed or destroyed in this disaster." If historians estimate the total casualty rate to be lower, than that's fine but we need to cite that source. Robo042 (talk) 17:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- Never mind, found it. I guess Tacitus said 50,000 dead or wounded and Suetonius said 20,000 dead. Added the sources. Robo042 (talk) 18:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
"Banished"
editRe footnote 8: "Atilius in exilium actus est" (Latin original) definitely means he was sent into exile, not "merely (...) banned from erecting new gladiator games." Dumbox (talk) 06:31, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
