Overall: Article looks fine, another addition to the recently growing coverage of Ancient Rome! Only a few minor issues:

I've simplyfied some wikilinks by simply putting the plural "s" directly after the brackets (the software identifies this as a plural and adjusts the displayed link). However, I am confused why you are piping "Marsielle" to "Marseille"? The former is only a misspelling of the modern city, while the Ancient Greek and Latin name would be Massalia (which has its own article). Maybe change the wikilink to point there?
The title "In culture" for the section feels a little weird, as it doesn't exactly deal with cultural coverage of tourism. However, I don't know what to put there instead. Not an issue for DYK, just wanted to say it.
The image you attached to the nom is not used in the article currently; instead there's another one, File:Villa dell'Ambulatio 13.JPG. Please decide which one you want to see in the DYK, and then add that to both the nomination here and the article.

Once the picture thing is sorted, I'll approve. –LordPeterII (talk) 17:21, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I changed "Marseille" to "Massalia" and the "In Culture" section to the "Motives" section. I also fixed the picture. Graearms (talk) 01:11, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Graearms I was going to promote the first hook, but don't see where the cited source says anything about hedonism. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:18, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

RoySmith I edited the references of the articles. Also it says that Baiae was known for hedonism in this source. Graearms (talk) 19:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
