Talk:Lucius Aurelius Cotta (consul 119 BC)

Which Cottae are his children?
Aurelia Cotta's page indicates Aurelia was his only child, and Gaius, Marcus, the younger Lucius were his nephews through the elder Marcus Aurelius Cotta:
 * "Aurelia Cotta was a daughter of Rutilia and Lucius Aurelius Cotta. Her father was consul in 119 BC and her paternal grandfather of the same name was consul in 144 BCE. The family of the Aurelii Cottae was prominent during the Roman Republican era. Her mother Rutilia, was a member of the gens Rutilius cognominated Rufus. They were of consular rank.
 * Three of her half-brothers were consuls: Gaius Aurelius Cotta in 75 BCE, Marcus Aurelius Cotta in 74 BCE and Lucius Aurelius Cotta in 65 BC; they were the sons of her mother, Rutilia's second marriage with her paternal uncle Marcus Aurelius Cotta."

Marcus Aurelius Cotta (consul 74 BC)'s indicates Marcus, Gaius, Lucius were his sons, though Aurelia was not:
 * "Cotta, hailing from a distinguished plebeian family, was the son of Lucius Aurelius Cotta who was consul in 119 BC, while his older brother Gaius Aurelius Cotta preceded him as consul in 75 BC. His younger brother Lucius Aurelius Cotta was consul in 65 BC. Aurelia Cotta, the mother of Julius Caesar, was his halfsister."

Gaius Aurelius Cotta's states that Gaius was Aurelia's son Caesar's maternal uncle (which could mean either full-uncle or half-uncle), which made him either full-brother or half-brother of Aurelia:
 * "He was the uncle to Julius Caesar through Caesar's mother, Aurelia Cotta."

Lucius Aurelius Cotta (consul 65 BC)'s indicates all the four of them (Gaius, Lucius, Marcus, Aurelia) were the elder Lucius' children:
 * "Both his father and grandfather of the same name had been consuls, and his two brothers, Gaius Aurelius Cotta and Marcus Aurelius Cotta, preceded him as consul in 75 and 74 BC respectively. His sister, Aurelia, was married to Gaius Julius Caesar, brother-in-law to Gaius Marius and possibly Lucius Cornelius Sulla, and they were the parents of the famous general and eventual dictator, Gaius Julius Caesar."

There is no consistency in their pages. Can anyone help confirm it? —Thắng L.Đ.Q. (talk) 16:37, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
