Problem[edit]

I edited the article into chapters and reordened it but part is not showing. However when you click on edit it shows in the text! Weird! -- fdewaele, 3 January 2007, 18:52

Name[edit]

Cicero was the cognomen of Quintus Tullius's brother Marcus Tullius. It was a nickname specific to him, meaning "Chickpea". Maybe Quintus began to use it in later life, as many did. Is there some reference that he did? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony164 (talk • contribs) 15:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that such names were -originally- individual-specific, but later became hereditary. --219.208.179.163 (talk) 14:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth order[edit]

If he was the younger brother of Cicero, how can he have been their father's eldest son? 173.16.252.144 (talk) 00:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalisation of Caesar's civil war[edit]

@Edgenut: The capitalisation of Caesar's civil war has "civil war" in lowercase. This is the consensus given at the move discussion of the linked article: Talk:Caesar's civil war#Requested move 1 May 2022. It is consistent with Wikipedia guidance: MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS, and WP:LOWERCASE. The standard for capitalisation in this form is only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources. This is not met for Caesar's civil war, which is both not usually called "Caesar's civil war" in the scholarship – context is normally sufficient – but also referred to normally as the civil war.

No source for birth year as 102 BC[edit]

There is no source for the birth year of 102 BC. That claim should be removed or a reliable source found. Ifly6 (talk) 01:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
