Shallam Empire? Asara 14:57, 26 April 2007 (GMT)
- Throughout the entire pre-Seleucarian history of Shallam, the leader's title was that of Emperor. (The traditional title of "Sultan" still existed, though, as evidenced by Caro-Kann.) I imagine that'd stem from the control that Shallam exercised over a good portion of the continent for nearly a thousand years - the same dominion which allowed it to quite literally pave itself in gold. The emperor article mentions it to some extent, if I recall. -- Delphinus @ 15:17, 26 April 2007 (GMT)
- Perfect. Should we direct the link to a separate "Shallamese Empire" then, as "Empire" is indicative of a time pre-Seleucar and today's Shallam is not usually referenced as an Empire but as a city-state who no longer holds that extent of territory? Asara 18:08, 26 April 2007 (GMT)
- Which, of course, would lead to a disambiguation page for Shallam (city) and Shallam (empire). Madelyne 21:17, 26 April 2007 (GMT)
- I don't really see a need to differentiate. As far as is known, Shallam as a city and Shallam as an empire were the same political entity. Seleucar and the Seleucarian Empire, however, were distinct creatures in entirely different leagues. -- Delphinus @ 23:06, 26 April 2007 (GMT)
- Hmm, they may still technically be the same tangible entity today, but Shallam as a city and Shallam as an empire have distinct territories in entirely different ages. Shallam (city) is today's Shallam. Shallam (empire) is Shallam pre-Selecular. *shrug*. Up to you all though, of course. Asara 00:29, 27 April 2007 (GMT)
