message: Has anyone seen documentation of the claim that Caesar was escorted by 72 lictors toward the end of his career? I can remember having seen such a claim, but I cannot document it. -- Publius

message: The number of lictors for promagistrates is in this article listed as one less than the corresponding magistrate (eg. a proconsul has 11 lictors while a consul has 12), which makes sense. However, this disagrees with the Imperium article, which says thay have the same number. I'm not changing anything, but I put up a request for sources. If you know which is true, please change the applicable article and add sources. Thanks. Trainik 15:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Lictors 

message: Somebody took out the sections on the Lictor's task and the Lictor curiatus. From what I read they seemed like well written, largely accurate sections. Then somebody left this fragment "They have the most power". I don't know why it was left like this, but it looks like an incomplete revision, as though someone had deleted the things to rearrange them, but never finished. If there was a good reason for the deletions, and somehow I missed it, then I apologize for reverting the article (I didn't actually revert it per se, I just copied applicable sections and edited the current one, since some positive changes had also occurred), and I would appreciate it if someone would point out what it was I missed. Otherwise, I hope that this version is better than the last. Trainik 04:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision/Revert 

message: I'm no expert on this topic, so I don't feel quite sure enough of this to edit it: but shouldn't "Primus lictor" (principal lictor) instead be "Lictor primus"?  It's just that I seem to remember from my Latin classes at school that adjectives in Latin normally come after the nouns they qualify, not before as in English.  So, unless there is a specific reason for this case to be an exception, I would think this should be changed. M.J.E. 19:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "... received a fixed salary (of 600 sesterces, in the beginning of the Empire)". per year ? needs clarification. Also, what was this worth in spending poiwer or compared to today's currency, it's meaningless as stated. Rcbutcher (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
