Talk:Leges provinciae

Your article is generally very good. You do a good job of describing what the leges provinciae are, what their purpose was, and how they differ from the lex provinciae. One thing though, there is a bunch of repeated information. This is probably because you didn't delete info that was already there before you edited it, but since you have probably done more research and your knowledge is more complete, it's might be ok to delete some of that info. Another thing, it would be good to add a bit more information about why exactly they changed from the lex provinciae to the leges provinciae; what exactly happened in 146 BC to spark this change in tax law? Continuing on this idea, it would be nice to know how it impacted the Republic. What did a stronger tax system do to income, trade, warfare, etc. and did establishing Roman governor in a province go against the ideals of the Republic which were strongly anti-tyrannical? Also, do you have a primary source? Lastly, it might be nice to use the footnote thing as a form of citation so that you know exactly what information came from what source. Other than those couple things, the article is good. ~Scott Hanna

For the most part, this article is excellent. There is a ton of great info, and I really liked how you organized the article into history and provisions and provided good specifics. I only have a few small points to make. I agree with Scott that there is a lot of repetitive information in the article, and this should be easy to correct. Also, in the first paragraph of the History section I think there is a mistake. I believe "about of tribute" should be "amount of tribute". I liked how you internally linked to important words, but I'd suggest internally linking Macedonia the first time you mention it as opposed to the second (not a huge deal though). You definitely should use the appropriate footnotes so people know exactly what is being cited. Another suggestion would be to add a links section at the bottom that has links to relevant websites. Finally, you may want to officially categorize the article under "Ancient Rome". These are pretty minor points, as Scott hit upon some of the more content-based issues, and for the most part I really liked the article.--Brian Mikolajczyk

There are some minor syntax and diction flaws, but overall this is an excellent article. You really responded well to your reviewers' comments and seriously strengthened the article. It would have been helpful if you had linked to a specific letter of Pliny's, so that your readers understood the reference. Well done! Anisekstrong 23:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Anisekstrong
