Second Cousin Somewhat Ambiguous
edit"Drusus married Aemilia Lepida, daughter of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, his second cousin." This seems to imply that Aemilia is his second cousin, although it could also mean Marcus is his second cousin. I think this should be rewritten to better clarify, eg:
Drusus married Aemilia Lepida, his second cousin and daughter of Aemilius Lepidus.
Drusus married Aemilia Lepida, daughter of his second cousin Marcus Aemilius. RealmRPGer (talk) 18:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Is Drusus Caesar a satisfactory way of disambiguating this person from Drusus Julius Caesar, son of Tiberius, Castor in "I, Claudius"? PatGallacher (talk) 16:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
