21:4321:43, 26 December 2024 diff hist −126 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: condensing this, which is lifted from the Trans-Saharan slave trade article; it's stated that this was a minor source, so considerations of proportional text and weight apply current
21:3221:32, 26 December 2024 diff hist +2 Garamantes →Slave raiding & trading: non-style to use an ampersand in a heading for "and" current
21:2821:28, 26 December 2024 diff hist −74 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: off-topic list of traded items

21:2421:24, 26 December 2024 diff hist −546 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: "the North-East lines across Europe" is nonstandard terminology in describing the geography of the Roman Empire; not at all sure what it means
21:1921:19, 26 December 2024 diff hist −343 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: WP:EXTRAORDINARY The deleted statement seems to make the extraordinary claim that the Romans had Chinese slaves, and the source is not RS on the subject of Roman slavery
21:1521:15, 26 December 2024 diff hist −201 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: oops
21:1221:12, 26 December 2024 diff hist −98 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: some of this is already touched on in the section or throughout the article (such as the section "War Captives, so consolidating/integrating the material would be preferred to adding a recursive paragraph
21:0221:02, 26 December 2024 diff hist +133 Slavery in ancient Rome →Demography: attempted to integrate this, but am just adding citation because the content is duplicative, and the statement about cross-border trade is already made
20:5920:59, 26 December 2024 diff hist −456 Slavery in ancient Rome →The slave trade: moving this to the section that deals with ethnicity
20:4920:49, 26 December 2024 diff hist −4 m Providentia →Providentia in numismatics: comma splice current
19:4419:44, 26 December 2024 diff hist +16 Providentia →top: more specific link
19:4219:42, 26 December 2024 diff hist −144 Providentia The statement in the lede summarizes the article as it stands, based on citations, per WP:LEADCITE, and so the statement is not really 'challengeable', as Providentia has no myths (narratives) but had religious functions (altars) and iconography (coins); to disprove the statement, one would have to offer a citation stating that Providentia does appear as a character in Roman narratives; perhaps this is a misunderstanding of the term 'mythology'?

11:1711:17, 16 December 2024 diff hist +130 Casticus →Literature and drama: but notable is that one was written by Max Radin current

21:2721:27, 7 December 2024 diff hist −1 Helvii →Roman politics: "Those" is the object of "among"; the subject of the main verb is the singular person. current
21:2421:24, 7 December 2024 diff hist −38 Helvii →Name: "Helviorum" is the genitive plural of the nominative plural "Helvii," an inflected form rather than a different name; and the variant (also a Latin gen. pl.) may be from a manuscript? It seems closer to the transliteration of Greek,

20:3520:35, 29 November 2024 diff hist −10 Bullroarer →In culture: minor editing of caption current
20:2220:22, 29 November 2024 diff hist −8 Ancient Greek harps →Harps in Greek literature: minor wording of caption current
16:2816:28, 29 November 2024 diff hist 0 Autun I've moved up the history section only because the climate data graphic causes what to my mind is a more serious layout/text flow issue when it's positioned so as to clash with the infobox at top;

13:4813:48, 23 November 2024 diff hist −41 Sexuality in ancient Rome True, but a drive-by offering no actionable suggestions, and why predispose a negative response when it's possible that the thousands of visitors are satisfied with one-stop shopping, and that the value of the article could be diminished by arbitrary dismemberment, since the subsections are interdependent

23:1623:16, 20 November 2024 diff hist +3 m Roman dodecahedron →Purpose: series of possibilities missing the conjunction before the last current

13:1113:11, 9 November 2024 diff hist +4 Pompoir →top: dating the image
13:1113:11, 9 November 2024 diff hist +25 Pompoir this statement does not seem to be supported in the article, and if the technique requires only internal movement, it seems the position wouldn't matter; the legend of Wallis Simpson's "Shanghai grip" is in the news owing to Paul French's book

17:2917:29, 3 November 2024 diff hist +227 Gladiator →Life expectancy: example of a funerary inscription

15:2315:23, 2 November 2024 diff hist +14 Slavery in ancient Rome not vandalism, but overly specific and not necessary in the already long intro; gladiators are an atypical case as examples of status, since being sent to the ludus was considered a punishment and the opposite of "skill" (which is what this sentence is about), and the best might well be free men; musicians aren't even discussed in the article; so how about a link to the section instead?

02:3202:32, 1 November 2024 diff hist −15 Venus Obsequens →The epithet obsequens: oops (when not to edit with a blinding headache) current

16:5316:53, 31 October 2024 diff hist +219 Venus Obsequens →Temple founding and obsequens: separating sections, perhaps unwisely

13:1113:11, 29 October 2024 diff hist −71 History of books →Book production in Rome: taming the one unsupported statement, but the rest of the section is also without citations; also, there were multiple libraries in Rome by the time of Julius Caesar, and while that's a great tidbit from Mary Beard in the NYT, there are many more and better sources for libraries in Rome

18:4318:43, 27 October 2024 diff hist −63 Chariot racing →Byzantine racing factions: I think I get the gist of the second sentence added, but I don't understand what the tagged sentence is saying about Christian hegemony, as it doesn't seem to match the source and is off-topic as presented here; there's an incident on p. 397 involving Justinian at the Hippodrome, but the author says factions might promote "foci of loyalty", and I see no generalization in the source at this point that aligns with this statement
