This is very importent —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.89.162.204 (talk) 06:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to the Julio-Claudian dynasty

Would this fella actually be a descendant of the old Julii who were the first Emperors?--Codenamecuckoo 09:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

- No. His true past( grand parents and after that ) is unknown, but all legal family heirs of old Julii has been dead in AD 69. Oldest Roman family which has survived lost of crown is Flavian Dynasty. Blood heirs of Nepos has survived until around AD 530.  ? rjecina

[edit] Relation to Marcellinus

I can't find the source for this, but I thought I read somewhere that Nepos was the nephew and successor of Marcellinus (general), commander of the field army in Illyricum. —Abou 20:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes he has been cousin of Marcellinus (general) ( and governor of Illyricum . For more info about this general I can tell you that he has been in 1 situation sending army from Ilyricum even to Sicily. —rjecina 17:59 (CET), 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rome or Ravenna?

This article says that Julius confronted Glycerius in Ravenna, while the page for Glycerius says that this happened in Ostia (or perhaps Rome). Ravenna makes more sense, as it is much closer to Dalmatia than Ostia is, but I don't know what actually happened. Does anyone know? Molinari 17:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orestes the Germanic tribesman?

Why is Orestes descibed as a "Germanic tribesman"? Both his parents were Romans. And even if he were part German, he must have been less so than the half-Frankish Theodosius III, so it wouldn't have been an obstacle to his claiming the purple. —Abou 22:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

How ded he die. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathiasceasar (talk • contribs) 06:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tightning up

This article need some tightning up. I don't think direct latin quotations from the sources is appropriate for Wikipedia. If no one objects I'll throw them out and put in a standard reference section. Fornadan (t) 13:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

At he very least could the "Rule" and "reign" sections be redacted.90.200.32.233 15:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Julius Nepos

He could actually be a family member of the Julii because Julien familie didn't die out, the Claudius Familiy did. It's Recordet to be a Julien that became Prator in 267.

Let me change answer of october 2006. Old Julii are existing in that period but they are not heirs of Julius Ceasar or Augustus because all heirs have been killed by Nero.—rjecina 05:38 (CET), 11 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.91.99.205 (talk)

[edit] Ovida

I just read that it was Ovida who killed Nepos.--Dojarca (talk) 14:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
