Hi there! I just noticed something while playing and I thought I'd post it here. It's not a bug just a minor error.
In the description of the gens Aurelia the names of the Emperors Marcus Aurelius and his son Commodus are "Marcus Aurelius Antonius"...the correct name would be Antoninus.
The 2nd thing is that the gens Aurelia of Antoninus Pius is not related with the republican gens Aurelia.
thank you.
good catch on the first, it is indeed Antoninvs.
Antoninus Pius is a member of the Aurelli however, his full name was Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus Pius and was the son of Titus Aurelius Fulvus
...who are a family from Gallia Narbonensis and only his father and his grandfather were consuls. They are most probably one of the Romanized gallic aristocratic families which had recieved citizenship during the consulship of an Aurelius.
(the years 75/74 or 65 BCE are quite possible when an Aurelius was consul. the consulship of 20 CE would be possible as well)
it would be mentioned if he was part of the famous gens Aurelia. The ancient writers wouldn't say that he's from a provincial familiy which "already" had had 2 consuls.
