Oh my... that statue is from 1696. It is not Roman... How unseemly! -- Pichote (talk) 21:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Whatever, the subject is Julius Ceasar the most famous Roman of all times. More than worthy. Flamarande (talk) 22:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
...as cultural depiction of Julius Caesar, you mean. Pichote (talk) 20:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I added a section to this template on the Latin language. I think it would be a good idea to do away with the ages of Latin template and apply this one to all the Latin pages since it's a good way to consolidate information - have a single template for all the roman articles? Thoughts? - Christopher (talk) 23:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Should Tetrarchy be added under extraordinary magistrates? 72.40.104.171 (talk) 15:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Julius Caesar statue image replacement[edit]

I changed the picture of the statue of Julius Caesar by Nicolas Coustou to a picture of the Augustus of Prima Porta statue. The Julius Caesar statue was anachronistic with Ancient Rome and misleading. I tried to substitute another statue of a Caesar for the sake of consistency. Having the image with a white background looked very good and I looked for another such image, but did not find one in the Commons. AmateurEditor (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I've changed the image to one with a white background for aesthetic reasons. AmateurEditor (talk) 18:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Icons should not be added only because they look good, because aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder: one reader's harmless decoration may be another reader's distraction Gnevin (talk) 20:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
