Very unfocused and offtopic
[edit]The majority of the text on this page is concerning the emperor and relatively little is actually about magistrates. There is huge overlap between this page and the pages on the Roman (kingdom, republic, empire) constitution and Roman (kingdom, republic, empire) executive magistrates. Much of it seems appropriate for the constitution pages, but less appropriate for the magistrate pages. I don't know how to begin to untangle this mess, but I can just say that it needs to be done. After reading through this page I still don't know what a magistrate is or does.
Roaming roman romes about rome
[edit]The words rome and roman together appear roughly 10 times in the first paragraph. Would it create too much confusion to simply call it the 'kingdom' or 'republic' or 'senate' or 'people' and then link it to 'spqr' or 'roman senate' after that? The term 'roman' works for titles, but I'm sure that readers know what is being referenced without having to tag 'roman' to everything.
I don't mind titles, but it feels somewhat like you're marching before a court where you're required to address the noble of office with a lengthy arbitrary title, and use that title whenever regarding anything of their holy person.
This hurts my brain in reading, so would it hurt to have it changed? — Preceding Impfireball (talk) 10:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Did they make any changes as you suggested? 2600:1004:B1AC:65C0:0:4B:1FFD:9201 (talk) 05:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

- I entered text,then noticed the "Preview" log duplicated my statement and misspelled my last name and no effort, not even erasing the entire text to post AN EMPTY REPLY, resolved the errors and omissions.
