It is always a good thing to encourage debate amongst scholars and I'm glad that you've weighed in further for your side. I hope to find some time in the near future to take a look at your suggestions and then reply. <br /><br />All the best,<br />SeraSera Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032224862199349267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-67457572013755899272010-03-02T16:24:27.292+00:002010-03-02T16:24:27.292+00:00Dear Sera,
The main target of this article was to ...Dear Sera,<br />The main target of this article was to point out the problem of the features of Canal of Count Sarno which are definitely in conflict with the traditional date of Pompeii's destruction. This problem really exists regardless of appearances. All necessary in-text references have been given in the article, indeed. Unfortunately, there is a lack of published excavation reports of the water conuit, if any. If you have any questions concerning my statements, please do not hesitate to contact me. It would be also great to discuss these with you. <br /><br />I would suggest to start with remarks of Giovanni Boccaccio about 14th century Pompeii he made in his work: "De montibus, silvis, fontibus, lacubus, fluminibus, stagnis seu paludibus, et de diversis nominibus maris"<br /><br />Like the following:<br />"APPENNINUS...includens cum Campania Vesuvium, Pompeios, Noceriam, Stabiam, Surrentum, post hec habens fere in visceribus Beneventum";<br /><br />"SARNUS mons est medius inter Pompeianum agrum et Salernitanum, ex quo magno cum murmure Sarnus erumpit fluvius apud Sarnum oppidum in montis radicibus constitutum.";<br /><br />"VESEVUS Campanie mons est nulli montium coniunctus, undique vinetis atque fructetis abundans. Hinc ab euroaustro Pompeios in radicibus habuit atque Sarnum ab euro fere, sed remotius Beneventum et a Vulturno Capuam et a circio Neapolim Chalcidensium Parthenopem dictam, in tumulo Sirene sedentem."<br /><br />Any comments? :)<br /><br />AndreasAndreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429613795846005131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-44667524992669473032010-03-02T14:23:30.888+00:002010-03-02T14:23:30.888+00:00Hi Massimo,

It hasn't been peer reviewed and I wonder about some of the statements made and the lack of in-text references. I suppose that it is ideal that scholars question accepted views, but I don't agree with this one. There are too many reasons why it doesn't add up. <br />All best wishes,<br />SeraSera Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032224862199349267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-13222630899867885252010-01-28T22:58:31.293+00:002010-01-28T22:58:31.293+00:00I would like to read this article, but before buyi...I would like to read this article, but before buying it, I would like to know if it is worthy.

It will be interesting to know archaeologists, classicists and historians take on this paper. Even more so, perhaps some of the researchers who Tschurilow quotes in his work.<br />Looking forward to hearing other's thoughts.<br />Sera : )Sera Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032224862199349267noreply@blogger.com
