Date edit

The intro dates the event to 180. Yet the article suggests dates of 130, 186 and 230. It should therefore be stated that the event occurred between 130 and 230.Royalcourtier (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Most recent date is 232 +/- 10 AD (see Hogg et al., 2012 doi: 10.1177/0959683611425551; Lowe et al., 2013 doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.11.022) i don't know how to update this in the wiki sorry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.217.46.61 (talk) 03:12, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is reasonably well accepted that the reports from Rome and China represent good evidence of the date of the eruption. The radio carbon date is of interest but it's accuracy is very questionable given the other evidence. This is well discussed in the article. Andrewgprout (talk) 05:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
