Guest spartacus Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 ok, next question: What was the Emporer Vitellius boyhood nickname? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Suetonius, Vitellius Book 3 He spent his boyhood and early youth at Capreae among the wantons of Tiberius, being branded for all time with the nickname Spintria a and suspected of having been the cause of his father's first advancement at the expense of his own chastity. Spintria essentially means male prostitute. Certainly not a kind thing for Suetonius to suggest about an emperor Next question: Indicate the blood relationship of the emperor Claudius to Julius Caesar.

Primus Pilus Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Nope, its fairly removed actually, but still related from a technical standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spartacus Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I am studying the Julian House genealogical chart and is it a far removed great nephew or something like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaevola Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 clau-clau-clau-Claudius was the Great-Great-Great-Nephew of Julius. or Julius was the Great-Great-Great-Uncle of Claudius. The order falls as thus: Julius's sister Julia (M. Atius Balbus)-->Atia (C. Octavius)-->Octavia (M. Antonius)-->Antonia minor (Nero Drusus)--> Claudius . or Atia= Niece, Octavia=Great Niece, Antonia=Great-Great-Niece, Claudius= Great-Great-Great-Nephew I'll await confirmation, but here is my question if applicable: Who was the youngest emperor and age to take the imperium?

Scaevola Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think Graves used the triple stutter paraphrasing to denote this relationship. Or I could be just drooling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
