Editorial Policy

The Lost Eagles publishes Roman-history stories for curious readers, not academic papers. Still, every factual claim needs a trail back to a source.

Our sourcing standard

• Every article starts from a fact sheet.
• Each fact-sheet claim must have a source URL.
• Key claims should use at least one non-Wikipedia source where available.
• Ancient sources are named when possible, such as Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Livy, or Ammianus Marcellinus.
• If a claim cannot be sourced, it does not go into the article.

How we handle uncertainty

Roman history often survives through damaged texts, hostile writers, archaeology, and later retellings. When historians disagree, we say so plainly.

We do not present speculation as fact. We do not invent quotes, numbers, motives, or scenes.

AI assistance and human editing

The Lost Eagles uses AI tools to help research, draft, and organize articles. The site's editor, Blaž, reviews and edits content before publication. The goal is simple: vivid storytelling with traceable sources.

Myths and legends

Some Roman stories are famous because they are neat, not because they are true. Myths may appear on this site only when they are clearly identified as legends, exaggerations, or disputed claims.
