Plut. Sulla 31 It was fortunate for them that PP was not Sulla's secretary. Great job indeed, PP; congratulations. After so many lists, it's extremely hard to find mistakes at your work.

Thank you kindly, but I'm sure there are some here... especially omissions. I bet more get hashed out as I add the next generation of names, and the historians mention names of relatives who lost lives in the Marian/Sullan conflict. I wonder if this entire project should be merged together with MPC's nobiles in the Caesarian civil war. A comprehensive list of names and their general affiliation, how they died, etc. could prove useful. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Who's Who for these two putsches could be useful, but it's a daunting project to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still may be some uncertainty in some cases, but it's far less ambitious than attempting to break down individual alliances over the course of 100 years.

There still may be some uncertainty in some cases, but it's far less ambitious than attempting to break down individual alliances over the course of 100 years. I'm in process on this, but it's even more daunting that I at first realized. From the Gracchi to the first triumvirate, I have some 90 names using mainly Appian as the source. (And I have not yet even begun to review the war with Sertorius). While I have been forced to corroborate some names via Plutarch, Livy, etc. I have not yet even begun a thorough review of each potential source. Should I include names of people convicted of bribery or other politically motivated charges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Clodius Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ultimately that's your call as it's your sweat! If you do go that route it could develop into a lengthy document, though, it would be nice to see such with ALL politically motivated prosecutions, outcomes, etc, with a brief description of each. Needless to say whatever you go with will add to the already rich content of UNRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
