Going back a few years, the old page of "Battle of Asculum (209 BC)" seems to have been redirected to this page (Battle of Canusium) in 2007. There were reasons given in the old talk page, but not here, so I'm collecting some links here in case anyone could use it to resolve the issue, as there still seems to be some confusion about the name and/or location of this battle. I claim no special knowledge of the matter, I only note that:
But, as an alternative claim, the page of
Ascoli Satriano, one of the places with the historical name of "Asculum", claims that it was the location of two early Roman battles, referring both to the
Battle of Asculum (279 BC) of the Pyrrhic War as well as the "
Battle of Asculum (209 BC)" (which now redirects to this page).
And the disambiguation / list page of the old name of "
Asculum" also claims the same thing, that Ascoli Satriano is the site of both these battles.
This is also (implicitly) claimed in the "see also" link at the start of the page for
Battle of Asculum (279 BC) which also refers explicitly to the "Battle of Asculum (209 BC)".
If the redirection was correct and Canusium is indeed the correct location, then perhaps the other three pages should be changed accordingly...
