thread_title:  Relation to the Julio-Claudian dynasty 

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)

thread_title:  [[:Category:Roman emperors]] ''vs.'' [[:Category:Murdered Roman emperors]] 

message: question:  if "nepos" is supposedly an agnomen j.n. gained from marriage to the emperor's niece(-in-law?), then are all these other "nepo-" names being derived from that? including the ones for persons that predeceased him?
also, if j.n. was the son of marcellinus' sister, that makes him twice nepos to notable persons.
i'm assuming all this has been dealt with by historians, but what is the thinking on it?
(& perhaps it should be covered in the article?)

thread_title:  on the naming of names 

message: The intro section here is far too long. As per WP:LEAD, the "lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article," and for an article of this length, the lead should not be more than two or three paragraphs. Here the intro contains detail that isn't even present in the body. In particular, detail about Orestes, Romulus, Odoacer, and the empire should be summarized and the detail moved into the body. I'll work on this when I have time, if someone else does not address it sooner. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 06:15, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

message: This section barely mentions Nepos. It seems to be in the wrong article. Can we write about Nepos's post-imperial life? 155.213.224.59 (talk) 13:52, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Kerr97, thanks for expanding the article. It's nice to be able to get rid of the banners saying more references were needed. We now have a lead that summarises the article, whereas before it was too short, and references so that readers can see where the information comes from. The bit about there being limited information on Nepos is a useful point to make as readers will notice the gaps around the early life and wonder whether that means the article is incomplete or we just don't know. In fact, I'd consider reiterating this point in the lead, as well as where it is in the 'family' section, since it's an important point. Further edits might add more information about the historiography around Nepos. Also, if there are further books or articles you think would be useful to a reader but you haven't had time to add it would be worth creating a 'further reading' section. The article is much improved and I've changed it's rating from a C-class to B-class. Richard Nevell (talk) 14:30, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
