Talk:Sextus Julius Caesar

Contradiction
This page here states that Sextus Julius Caesar I was the son of Gaius Julius Caesar I, but the page on Gaius Julius Caesar I states that he was the son of Sextus Julius Caesar I...which is which? CeleritasSoni (talk) 21:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Error
Sextus Julius Caesar IV could not have been a friend of Dictator Julius Caesar since he was long death before Sextus IV was born.

Much confusion
It appears that one or more contributors to the article have confused the various Sextus Julius Caesars with each other. I'll see what I can do about it. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 01:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Probably more confusion
An IP editor posted the following in the article:

!-- PLEASE READ --! Sorry I do not know how to "properly edit a mistake" as I just see an "Edit" button. What is the Edit button doing here if you can not make changes? Really? I;m not talking about I believe the work should be Thy not The I'm talking about dates being so wrong that a 2 year old has a Great Grandson! It's just obviously WRONG! I'm not saying you have the answer, but the least you can do it reconize the mistake and mark the page for review or whatever your options are and in the mean time mark the "OBVIOUSLY" wrong fact as - "Being reviewed", "unknown", "need help finding facts"..... Just don't be a one of thoise people that just overlooks a simple problem because you feel that your input does not matter and slap the person in the face (me) that is trying to be of help. !-- THANKS, I HOPE -!

I don't know enough about this, so hopefully someone can comment on this.

This material was added with this and other edits. Thanks, P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 23:39, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He's probably right, just as he was right about Nero. But I can't find the correct information, since most Internet sites seem to agree with us or give vague information, and I imagine that because he's only blanking it and not correecting it that neither can he.   —  Soap  —  12:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

the Consul
I am going to add a section called Sextus Julius Ceasar the Consul. The numbers really don't matter since certian members of the Julian are going to be left anyway. Sextus the Consul is the important figure. He was the first consul the Julius Ceasars had in decades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.20.84 (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

german wikipedia
Perhaps we should adjust the information to read more what the German wikipedia has as it makes more sense. Moreover, this 5th Sextus Julius Caesar seems like a myth.--I am the Blood 03:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blood3 (talk • contribs)

Missing Sextus?
Given date of death of Sextus the Consul of 91 BC (around 89 BC), the Sextus who was Quaestor in 48 BC being his son seems extremely unlikely. I am not sure of the source which the page uses that names him Quaestor in that year, but as the son of a patrician consul, it would be strange for him to not have become Quaestor at 30. According to dates on page, the youngest he would be at becoming Quaestor would be around 40 years old (and more likely much older). More likely Sextus the Consul had an adult or adolescent son by the time he was Consul. He may have been unable to secure advancement during Sulla's dictatorship and simply died of disease prior to obtaining office. This makes him more of a contemporary of Caesar the Dictator and makes it quite possible that the Sextus who was Quaestor in 48 BC (if this source is correct) was a son born to this unknown Sextus sometime after the end of the Italian Wars (and thus grandson to the Consul of 91 BC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.232.100.54 (talk) 15:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
