Thanks for visiting. I've been mostly away for a while, and have confined myself to edits. I'm substantially reviewing my work at Wikipedia, and this is now a page in progess.

Roman Republican Consuls:

File:Scipio.jpg

I am building my Wikipedia Roman edits, mostly in biography articles around Scipio Africanus (236 BC-183 BC), his family, political associates, and political and military rivals

Working on the following consuls

Articles have been created for these men, but they need better references and also more work in the main body (including facts from Smith and Livy).

• Publius Licinius Crassus Dives (consul 205 BC), Scipio's co-consul
• Publius Aelius Paetus (consul 201 BC), Scipio's co-censor
• Publius Sempronius Tuditanus, censor and consul
• Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, Scipio's first cousin

Articles or revisions still in sandbox

When dabbed, an article already exists in Wikipedia.

• Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus - uncle of Africanus
• Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Hispallus - cousin of Africanus
• Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus - brother of Africanus
• Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiagenes - descendant of above
• Publius Cornelius Scipio (disamb)
  • Publius Cornelius Scipio (consul 218 BC) - father of Africanus
  • Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Flamens dialis - elder son of Africanus

Worklist

1. Add consul succession boxes to existing consuls
2. Add censor succession boxes to existing censors (most of them missing succession boxes)
3. Create or update pages on the Cornelii Scipiones who became consuls in the Punic Wars
4. Create pages on other Second Punic War era consuls
