This article needs a different title. Maybe List of victory titles of Roman Emperors? RickK 03:37, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I would not object to such a retitling. Publius 20:43, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

A wrong translation from the Latin agnomen

The agnomen Germanicus does not mean "the German". There were no Germans in those days and Germanicus was a nobleman of old Roman stock.

The mistake is easily made but the agnomen is related to the English "Of", as in Montgomery of Alamein. Monty was not from North Africa, he was victorious there.
Germanicus can be translated as "conqueror of Germania" or "victorious in Germania" or "Victorious against the Germanic tribes". As the Romans never conquered these dark forrests the second alternative seems appropriate.
The list is valuable. There is a lot of work in it and it is certainly encyclopædic.

Greetings from the once dark, now sunny forrests of Germania,

Imperial Roman Victory Titles

I agree with a retitling if this list focuses strictly on the Imperial period. I would, however, also like to see a listing of victory titles in the Republican period. The article on victory titles is good about this, but again I'd like to see a more comprehensive list starting in the Republican era.

Maximinus Thrax

I have removed this line from the description of Maximinus Thrax - **Thrax ("the victor in Thracia"), ??. It wasn't a victory title, but a mention of his origin - from Thracia. It's "Maximinus the Thracian", not "Maximinus the conqueror of Thrace". -- Flavius T (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Frederick II

@Debosneed: I don't think those can be interpreted as victory titles. Frederick was king of Italy, Sicily, Jerusalem and Arles. Those look to me like royal titles in the style of victory titles. According to Kantorowicz, Frederick was imitating Justinian's Digest. Srnec (talk) 00:42, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
