Etymology

The etymology section comes up short insofar as it fails to provide any root word translation of sol itself. Cf. the Online Etymological Dictionary: "... from root *saewel- 'to shine...'" Orthotox (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Sol (mythology). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110716024900/http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/epigr/uah-bilder.php?bild=PH0009413 to http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/epigr/uah-bilder.php?bild=PH0009413

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Obvious Original Research

Unless there are any objections, I will remove a paragraph that consists almost entirely of WP:OR and WP:POV.

"The official status of the cult of Sol after Aurelian was significant, but there is no evidence that it was the supreme cult of the state. Hoey exaggerates the importance of an inscription from Salsovia that supposedly indicates an official empire-wide cult-prescription for Sol on December 19.[21] It actually simply states that at the command of the emperor Licinius the commanding officer of the detachment at Salsovia was to burn incense annually for a newly erected statue of Sol on November 18 (Hoey misread the date).[22] This simply means that Licinius accepted the erection of the statue in his honour."

Reference 22 consists of the editor's own interpretation of the inscription (which is different than the interpretation given by the aforementioned Hoey in ref 21). It would be one thing if a source was given for the interpretation, but it's clear that this paragraph is the editor's own original research.
