Battle of Volturnus (1860)Battle of the Volturno – common name PatGallacher (talk) 22:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Relisting. Jerm (talk) 14:43, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think we may be both taking cryptically here. However I think "Battle of the Volturno" is how I have normally seen people refer to this battle, most Wikipedias in other languages use the equivalent of this term, it is the modern Italian name for the river.

  • Support per WP:COMMONNAME. The soldiers who fought in the 1860 battle spoke Italian not Latin. I'd be somewhat surprised if anyone had ever referred to that battle as "Volturnus".
This looks like a case of WP:SMALLDIFFS, where neither battle needs a year qualifier (i.e. Battle of the Volturnus (554) and Battle of the Volturno (1860)) and where reciprocal hatnotes would be a better solution than a DAB page. Narky Blert (talk) 13:41, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
