Talk:Antonius

Untitled

One Gaius or Caius Antonius is Marc Antony's uncle. It is not sure he was Hybrida. Maybe he was Nepos. Don't forget Pliny explains us in his Book n°viii that Hybrida means "blood mixed" or "partly wild". He gave as example Caius Antonius , consul with Cicero. But was it right ? List of consuls gave us just the name Caius Antonius. Then after, we found two men : Gaius Antonius Hybrida and Caius Antonius Nepos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.36.162.3 (talk) 09:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Famous Antons

Unless someone comes up with a good reason pretty soon why we have a 'famous Antons' section on a page for the gens Antonius, I'm removing it. Hornplease 05:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Anthony the Great

Shouldn't Anthony the Great be mentioned here? His name is Antonius in Latin. --217.50.237.236 18:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

There's also Emperor Antonius Pius, who some sources just call Antonius. This really needs a disambig. -- Kendrick7^talk 20:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Merging of Articles

In the English Wikipedia there are many articles on variants of the name Antonius. It would make sense to merge them into a single article that lists and explains the various name variants.

When a variant of the name is searched for, it should redirect to the main article. Incorrect or imprecisely worded information should be corrected and presented in the main article without the contradictions that can currently be found in the articles concerned.

Even the English and Greek versions of the article Antonios disagree about the origin of the name, with the Greek version reflecting current scholarship more accurately. As early as 1897, George Davis Chase, in The Origins of Roman Praenomina, referred to Wilhelm Deecke’s Etruskische Forschungen, Drittes Heft: Die etruskischen Vornamen to show that the origin is likely Etruscan.

Here follows a non-exhaustive list of articles that would need to be merged:
Antonius
Antonio
Anthony
Toni
