It's becoming more and more clear that you see this as your kingdom and you are acting like bully. So, before I edited it didn't need a reliable source, now it does? (Personal attack removed). NickLego (talk) 16:08, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

and anyways, with my modifications i did just want to conform that specific text to the one above. The latter says one thing, the one i modified says the opposite. NickLego (talk) 16:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

All edits must be verifiable to a reliable source. It has never been the case otherwise, those are Wikipedia's core content policies. And this is your only and final warning -- personal attacks are not allowed. Also a core policy. I strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with our rules before making any further edits as further disruption may result in sanctions. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 22:30, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

A behaviour toxic like not many others. NickLego (talk) 22:35, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Roman names

Hi, the thing with Roman naming conventions is that Ceionius is a nomen gentilicium, which means that if a man has a father named Ceionius and a son named Ceionius his name must have been Ceionius as well, even if his praenomen and cognomen are not known. Silvanus is a cognomen, which can vary within the same family, so we don't know if Marcus Caeionius Silvanus's father was named Silvanus. ★Trekker (talk) 14:44, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't need your explanation, i know about it as much as you do. What tells you that his parents only chose Ceionius for him, then? He could have been named Ceionius Plautius, since in the imperial times the names were tipically longer than in the republican because sometimes they added the nomen of both of father and mother; look at the Valerii Asiatici gens for example. Another one is Iulia Serviana Paullina, daughter of Hadrian's sister Aelia Domitia Paullina and Lucius Iulius Ursus Servianus: they gave her two cognomina. Chances are that parents could give also two nomina. NickLego (talk) 15:11, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

It's not about Ceionius being his only nomen, it's about Ceionius being the only one that scholars are certain of.★Trekker (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't see any scholar cited as a source NickLego (talk) 15:50, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Syme is, right above, for the whole section. Regardless, if you believe a second nomen or a cognomen was used all you need to do is just find it mentioned in a reliable source, it might even be postulated in the article by Syme, if you're able to find that article, I am not at the moment.★Trekker (talk) 16:03, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't think there is a second nomen, what i wrote earlier was an example. I do think he was called Ceionius, or Commodus NickLego (talk) 18:54, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
