[edit]The article puts stress on the convention that the Praetorian prefecture and provincial governorship, were the two highests offices open to men of the equestrian class in the Roman Empire. It ignores however the fact that Emperor Augustus (as well as many other Emperors who succeeded him) was himself born into an equestrian, rather than a patrician, class !

Recent changes
[edit]This article is one of those edited recently by Special:Contributions/24.18.119.54. A question was asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome about these anonymous edits, so I have glanced through this page as the anonymous contributor left it. My opinion (reached very hastily) is that all the changes were (certainly or probably) improvements. The anonymous contributor
- removed the alternative name Lucius Aelius Strabo, which is a howler;
- removed some irrelevant material that belonged in other articles;
- improved the phraseology, and, more important,
- made it clearer what are facts and what are uncertain deductions.
Continuing this hasty statement of opinion, the contributor's fault is not to have realised that it's better to have an account, and better to explain major changes on talk pages. I think it's a pity that the article has now been reverted to its previous state. Andrew Dalby 18:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
