Redirect?
editShould this page just redirect to Roma Sub Rosa? It doesn't really say anything that isn't there too. 11:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Removed from the article
editThe fact that Gordianus' family was made up of adopted sons is not that unconventional for the time.
It appears, especially in wealthier and political familys, that nephews and other relations were adopted, giving the adoptee the benefit of inheritance rights.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lalambjohndoe (talk • contribs) 19:31, 17 May 2007

Freedman?
editI don't think there's any indication in the book that would make us think that Gordianus is a freedman, like the article suggests. He inherits his home on the Esquiline from his father and he travelled widely in the Roman world as a citizen as a young man, both things which point to him being a freeborn Roman citizen. Is there some reason why the article mentions the possibility that he was a freedman? Berkowow (talk) 05:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
As a matter of fact, in the first novel, ROMAN BLOOD, When Gordianus, Tiro and Cicero are brought into a private shrine by mistake- The Mistress of the household looks and sees the ring on Gordianus' finder and realises that he is a Roman citizen and not a slave as she first thought.
