Sagunto/SaguntSagunto — A common English name exists (see Encyclopaedia Britannica Sagunto), and have to be prefered to any local name, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements) (above all, the current name is eccentric). —Juiced lemon 13:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any additional comments:

Note that the title of the Encyclopaedia Britannica article is Sagunto (above the line), and not Saguntum, which is only the Latin name of the town. --Juiced lemon 08:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Sagunto/Sagunt to Sagunto as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 14:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When a page on modern Sagunto is assembled sufficient to carry the weight of the space-consuming "infobox", that article should be at Sagunto; this, concerning the Roman site, might remain at Saguntum, without the "infobox". A courteous "move" request allows about a month. --Wetman 21:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sagunto

Sagunto is a municipality of Spain, located in the province of Valencia, approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of the city of Valencia. The municipality includes three differentiated urban nuclei: Ciutat Vella (Sagunto), Grau Vella and Puerto de Sagunto. More than half of the population lives in Puerto de Sagunto, situated on the Mediterranean Costa del Azahar. The Ciutat Vella is the site of the ancient Iberian and Roman city of Saguntum and a siege in 219 BC which was the trigger of the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians and the Romans. This panorama shows the Ciutat Vella, looking north from the hill on which Sagunto Castle stands.
