Talk:Cantia gens

This gens never existed
In the light of my decades of studies in Roman law, Latin philology and epigraphy, I can say that this gens never existed. It is stupid to affirm the existence of a gens for an haplography present only in some textual versions. Docenshistoriamromanam (talk) 08:39, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Forgive my skepticism, but you're attempting to prove a negative based on nothing more than an unverified claim of extraordinary knowledge. Considering you've provided nothing to substantiate your claim other than asserting indisputable expertise, the fact that your only contribution to Wikipedia is a bare assertion of expertise on the talk page of an extremely obscure topic raises doubts.  It took approximately two minutes for me to check the C-S Databank and determine that there were at least a few Cantii besides the one currently mentioned in this article—who may well be disputed, although there's no reason to doubt the others.  I'll be adding them later today, if I have time.  P Aculeius (talk) 13:01, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Added thirty-five members I could identify from a cursory search. There are probably others.  P Aculeius (talk) 18:10, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
