    Linking to the ideas stated in this thread was there any other common suffixes added to Roman names like Africanus? Sort of emulating the Hellenic suuixes where 'the Vanquisher' or 'the conqueror' were added onto the end of General's or leader's names. Just a thought, because it would add a nice cosmetic difference which would boost the game's atmosphere.

    There are heaps and heaps of Roman cognomina and agnomina. We should have a think about some of the better ones, although the more "common" ones are probably going to reflect the prominence of one or more Roman family.

    A fun example is Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus Cunctator. Maximus means 'greatest'. Verrucosus means 'warty'. Cunctator means 'delayer'.
