Rename
edit@Avilich and T8612: Should this page be renamed to something like Gaius Scribonius Curio (tribune 50 BC)
? (I presume we don't use the tr pl
abbreviation.) Ifly6 (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I suppose yes, moreover the title doesn't really make sense while in the lede it is said that "He was a friend to Pompey, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Clodius and Cicero"... T8612 (talk) 19:31, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sometime ago I noved the page to 'tribune 50 BC' but then changed my mind since the present one sounds more natural and reader-friendly, but feel free to switch it back. Avilich (talk) 21:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Move completed. Ifly6 (talk) 17:25, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Memmia, wife
editI removed a claim about Curio having married some Memmia before marrying Fulvia. This claim isn't corroborated by DPRR and is probably a confusion with his father. Curio's homonymous father married a woman named Memmia to bear this Curio. Ifly6 (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Sourcing claim of censor
editThere are no primary sources to attest to Curio being censor in 61 BC. Cassius Dio simply states there were censors for the year. Besides there being no primary sources for it being Curio, references to Broughton's tables of magistrates does not add any veracity to the claim as Broughton himself states in his tables that the censors for 61 BC are unknown. Unless anyone can identify any primary or modern sources that I am unaware of that backs up the claim of Curio being censor, I am removing it from the article.
