BC/AD and Lepcis/Leptis

@Vishal Kandassamy: You are wrong on both counts. See MOS:ERA. Regarding Lepcis/Leptis, see Mattingly, Tripolitania, p. 194. The spelling with C is found in local inscriptions in Latin and reflects the Punic pronunciation. Srnec (talk) 20:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Leptis Magna is the common name of that city in Tripolitania, Libya in the ancient times and also the modern times and it is the name that is present throughout the Wikipedia article on the city of Leptis Magna also, which is why i edited it in that way, because the Punic name was made from Lpt and not Lct as mentioned in that article on Wikipedia and it is the same name Leptis Magna and not Lepcis Magna in Latin also, which is mentioned commonly in the Wikipedia article for the Libyan city of Leptis Magna and you can see it in the Wikipedia page Leptis Magna itself.

Both "Leptis" and "Lepcis" are correct. Which is why it is no correction to change from one to the other. Same goes for BC/BCE. In both cases, the rule on Wikipedia is leave it be. Srnec (talk) 01:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Nowadays people use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD with Leptis Magna instead of Lepcis Magna, so what i am saying is correct now by convention. 2409:4072:711:5110:E8D4:CE98:141D:B304 (talk) 11:53, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
