This page should really be a redirect to a gens Tullia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cashie (talkcontribs) 08:30, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Albinovanus?

edit

I could find no source other than the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology that assigns the nomen Tullius to Publius Albinovanus, the turncoat Marian officer during the Sullan civil war. The RE/Pauly-Wissowa says here that it's not a cognomen, but a "geschlechtsname", which Google Translator turns into 'gender name', but I take to mean 'gentile name' (elsewhere, though, the RE seems to use gentilname, which I'm not sure is the same thing as geschlechtsname). The RE entry Albinovanus 1 seems to confirm that the form 'Tullius Albinovanus' is a mistake, and P. Albinovanus is also not listed in the RE under Tullius. It seems that there should be a separate page called *Albinovana gens*. Avilich (talk) 23:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Looking into the matter, that seems to be correct, and I've gone ahead and created an article for the Albinovani. And yes, "geschlechtsname" is used synonymously with "gentilname" in German, but as a technical term Google Translate isn't familiar with it. P Aculeius (talk) 05:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
@P Aculeius: I was here considering creating the article myself and wondering how well I would do as a first-timer, but it seems you beat me to it with astounding speed. It's much better and more complete than what I conceived myself doing, so congratulations! Avilich (talk) 12:05, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
