Please explain.

Hey,

1) "A number of historical incidents took place in the seventh and eighth century/centuturies."

"A number of historical incidents took place in the seventh and the eighth century/centuturies."

Which's the more appropriate word for each of the sentences?

And what do both the sentences mean? Do they mean the same?

Thanks in advance!

Regards!

Hi,

In terms of meaning, without any context it seems like a somewhat odd thing to say. Emotion: smile
