You guys in wiki are real morons. The named character used to be in real history. Read "De Bello Gallico" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.237.210.195 (talk • contribs) 20:38, July 15, 2006 (UTC)
That's why it says "The basis for this character is the historical Roman soldier of the same name, who is briefly mentioned in Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico." And a question... he used to be in history? Did he get erased from history or something? Eric 20:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conjecture
This part of the article really needs to be struck from it:
- He loved his wife Niobe deeply, and was profoundly affected by her loss.
The fact is that we do not know if Niobe is actually dead. It would seem that she is, but it is not certain. She has not been buried, no one has said she is dead, and we only see him holding her in the end. That he was 'profoundly affected by her loss' is a silly thing to say since we see nothing else. She might have actually even survived the fall. Any comments? MagnoliaSouth 13:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that sentence should stay, just reworded, perhaps "He loved his wife, Niobe, deeply and was distraught by her loss. I don't think it is over-assuming. Rome wiki-page has her as season 1 only. It may be that someone just took the liberty of assuming this, but might as well stick to it if no one has any information to the contrary.

- But there is, so far, no loss. It has not been confirmed that she has died. Just because Wiki has her as season 1 only, doesn't mean she is. Only HBO knows this and there has been no announcement by HBO, that I'm aware of, which says she is gone. The source should be cited then, if it is to stay OR we find in season 2 that she is actually dead. MagnoliaSouth 13:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personal History
In my opinion the fact that he doesn't deny his gallish heritage when mocked may prove for the fact that his family is of Gaul origin.
[edit] The Spoils
Edited the link to the episode "The Spoils". The previous entry had it going to another page about a card game. Changed to direct to the proper page.
[edit] Common Editing Mistakes
I see that people are incorrectly formatting episode titles. According to Wiki's TV guidelines:
- It should be noted that the title of a television show is styled with italics (e.g. M*A*S*H) while the title of an episode is styled with quotation marks (e.g. "Pilot"). Proper format
Additionally I see that folks are linking directly to a real person in history when actually referring to a show character (e.g. Julius Caesar vs. Julius Caesar). It must be remembered that this show is fiction and links must be carefully created. Julius Caesar is a perfect example because though he was a real person the character in the series Rome is fiction, and no links should be made to the non-fiction Julius Caesar (unless there is a comparison between the two, and it should be clear about the difference). I'm certain this was unintentional, but thought I'd point out this common mistake. :) MagnoliaSouth | Talk 13:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
