 | The contents of the Fiction set in the Roman Empire page were merged into List of fiction set in ancient Rome on 26 July 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
Criterion
editI have changed the page to emphasize that only works set in the city of Rome qualify. (I was looking for a list of this kind and decided to build & update this list to find works easily). Another article with lists of all works has been created (everything transferred) for all works set in the Roman world.
I hope this is permissible. If not, please let me know, and I will create a new list for only works set in the city of Rome.
Categorization
editAuthors John Maddox Roberts and Steven Saylor overlap the same time period with two similar characters, both essentially detectives. But they are in different places in the article. It shows that Roberts has a series, but appears that Saylor only has a book. He too has a series "Roma Sub Rosa". Student7 (talk) 12:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
What a mess!
editCan someone merge the two articles: Fiction set in ancient Rome and Fiction set in the Roman empire? Please? It's such a mess now.
In the Fiction set in the Roman empire article there are books set in the times of the Republic while "Empire" is the post-Republican phase of Rome!
Both articles have duplicate entries. It's nearly impossible to add to Fiction set in ancient Rome only those novels that are set in the city itself.
Either merge the two articles or delete Fiction set in the Roman empire which has less entries than the other one.

- There might be more content worth merging from Fiction set in the Roman Empire—take a look and do what you will czar 18:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Czar: What content did you merge into this article (as you're saying that "there might be more content"). As far as I can see you didn't merge but simply redirect! Please don't do this. --Fixuture (talk) 15:32, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Much of it was already duplicative. Any editor is welcome to comb through the page history to improve the list czar 15:34, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
