Under the history they will tab with the subtab of Eruption of Vesuvius it’s says Pliny the younger wrote about the eruption 25 years afterwards however it should say 27 to 28 since those letters were written in 106 and 107 AD. Also the source for it one of them doesn’t work. Here is my source: Jones, Nicholas F. “Pliny the Younger’s Vesuvius ‘Letters’ (6.16 and 6.20).” The Classical World, vol. 95, no. 1, 2001, pp. 31–48.

Pomp and Celtic "pemp"[edit]

"According to Theodor Kraus, The root of the word Pompeii would appear to be the Oscan word for the number five, pompe".

Interestingly, "five" in Breton is said "pemp" and in Welsh "pum(p)". Gwalarn (talk) 18:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
