` ::I know a little of the history of Rome, but only a relatively little, I am far from an expert. My intervention was first as an admin who saw this page listed for speedy deletion, and second as an experienced Wikipedia editor. I find several of the sections fascinating. I do think some work will be needed to get this into shape as a Wikipedia article, but no reason that can't be done. A couple of points: ::*Sources not in English are perfectly acceptable, although when there is an equivalent source in English it is preferred, as it will be useful to more of the readers. When a non-english source is used, it is useful if a relevant shoprt wuote can be provided in English traslation. The citation templates have provision for indicating the language of a source, providing translated quotes, and translated titles. ::*Language that addresses the reader, such as ``We therefore conclude...`` are in my view best avoided  in Wikipedia articles. ::*Abbreviated references like ``Liv. 1, 24, 7`` will not be clear to all readers, remember that this article, as a general overview, is aimed at elst in part at readers with little knowledge of the subject.  ::*Quotations in Latin should if possible, be translated as well as giving the original. ::*Currently some of the footnotes are references citations, and some are simple notes. These can be split into separate lists via the group parameter of the ref tags (see Help:Footnotes), but this may not be worth doing until the refernces are cleaned up and the article organized better. ::I hope these comments are helpful`
