Talk:Gaius Duilius

Strange Wording?
OK -- I might be a little undercaffeinated, but this sentence: "However, the ingenuity of Scipio Asina got him captured in the battle of the Lipari Islands, leaving Duilius as senior commander." makes no sense to me: the "him" seems to refer to Scipio Asina -- why is it smart/ingenious to get oneself captured?! The linked battle's page does nothing to help matters, as it seems that Scipio Asina's capture was a disaster. --Storkk (talk) 09:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

junior partner?
Hello!

Why is duilius called junior partner of scipio asina? i see no hint in the sources that he was not on the same level in his consulship as his colleague and i don't think beeing a novus homo next to patrician scipio makes him automatically a junior partner.
