Talk:Ptolemy of Mauretania

Claudius
The statement that "Claudius tried a Roman Senator called Gaius Rabirius Postumus for treason who before tried unsuccessfully to recover money from Ptolemy" does not belong in the section on Ptolemy's death. I would also question the sentence. An attempt to recover money is not treason, there was obviously more involved, which should be added. Or is this entirely confused, and a reference to the trial in 54BC of Gaius Rabirius Postumus by the senate?Royalcourtier (talk) 22:12, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The sentence before about Caligula's practical joke seems barely relevant, too. Perhaps that whole paragraph is better deleted or moved to a 'Misc mentions' section. Shuggaroth (talk) 21:03, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Edited
As pointed out in a little notice at the top of the page, (I have yet to read this page in full, so this may be an outdated message. I understand this is a page not likely updated often D:) this page lacks the proper encyclopedic tone required in Wikipedia articles. If this is in fact still a current issue, I suggest someone fix it up. If not, the aforementioned notice should be removed. I plan to do all of this myself, but I am busy reading books about Ptolemy's mother and might forget- Thank you!

Drusilla
With regard to this edit: Britannica is not incorrect, it's just differentiating between the facts (last known descendant) and the speculations that Drusilla was possibly either his daughter, sister or cousin (in fact, we can't be sure since her parents are not mentioned in the literature). I have therefore restored the stable version and adjusted the footnote to make sure that the speculations are not presented as facts in Wikipedia's voice. M.Bitton (talk) 23:15, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
