Henryk Siemiradzki's Pochodnie Nerona (Świeczniki chrześcijaństwa)
Why is Henryk Siemiradzki's Pochodnie Nerona (Świeczniki chrześcijaństwa) (in English: Nero's Torches (Leading Light of Christianity)) included in this article with the caption "Nero watching devouring of Christians"? There are no animals in this image, and no devouring. If you actually look at the picture, there are Christians tied to the tops of poles being lit on fire (hence torches). The only thing Nero is watching is the Christians being devoured... by flames. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû(blah?)02:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since there are a list of purpoted survivors, should there be a summary of what happens to those who survives? K61824 (talk) 01:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That was full of unsourced stuff and other stuff that was just wrong, I took a lot of it out, what remains are simply far fetched legends.Smeat75 (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The second bullet point contains a link to Magician (fantasy) when referencing the punishment of those who employed sorcery and other magic against others. I feel linking to a page about magic in the modern context of fantasy entertainment is a bit of a mistake considering the magic they are referring to in the Roman era is a different anthropological concept. I have changed the link to Magic_in_the_Graeco-Roman_world as it is more apporpriate Spec ops Grunt (talk) 23:00, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
