Tullianus Symmachus or Symmachus Tullianus?
editThe form given of this consul's name is surprising. Alan Cameron (in "The Antiquity of the Symmachi", Historia, 48 (1999), pp. 477-505) calls him Symmachus Tullianus, explaining that Tullianus is an agnomen & Symmachus the cognomen; but here is it placed as if a cognomen & Symmachus is the agnomen, which would be odd because his descendants for the next 150+ years use Symmachus as the family name. And on what grounds is this man known as "Marcus Aurelius Valerius Tullianus Symmachus Phosphorius"? Methinks a troll has been messing with this article. -- llywrch (talk) 22:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
