Talk:Pope Caius

Name
There isn't really a Roman name "Caius" -- rather, there was a Roman name Gaius, which for complicated reasons connected with the early history of the Latin alphabet, was often abbreviated by the single initial "C" (not "G"). "Caius" is almost always a corrupted reading (except in Gonville and Caius college, where it's a pretentious pseudo-Latinization of the English surname "Keys").

Town
I changed the city of birth from Solin to Salona because here in Wikipedia there are two links and two articles: one (Solin, Croatia) for the modern Croatian town and the other (Salona) for the ancient town, Illyrian first and then Latin, where Caius was born. In present times Salona is situated near today's town of Solin. (Sorry for my very poor English)--Luigi 28 (talk) 23:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
