Talk:List of Roman tribes

List Title

Shouldn't this page be named List of Roman tribes, with no capital on the T? Alba 14:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

• As it is a title, all normal capitalization rules apply. "Of"s and "the"s are not capitalized, and all major words are capitalized. Thanks for the input though. Check out Roman Naming Conventions as well. Pretty soon I will have it ready for renomination to Featured article status. Rrpbgeek 15:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Famous People?

Perhaps some famous members of each of the tribes could be named, rather than just a boring list? I think this would make the page more interesting.RSido 04:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Voting tribe

Need some definition on "voting tribe" or, as it is appeared now, "the historical tribes of Rome, as used for voting" Bennylin (talk) 08:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Answering my own (and future readers') question, here's what I found from Ancient Rome. Bennylin (talk) 08:23, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Voting power in the Republic was dependent on class. Citizens were enrolled in voting "tribes", but the tribes of the richer classes had fewer members than the poorer ones, all the proletarii being enrolled in a single tribe. Voting was done in class order and stopped as soon as most of the tribes had been reached, so the poorer classes were often unable even to cast their votes.

I was under the impression that there were urban tribes (the poor) and the rest were rural tribes, originally for landholders and/or aristocracy. Colleen McCullough's books go into great detail about this and that prominent clients were enrolled into the rural tribes to give them more political power. Cashie (talk) 04:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

35th tribe?

I was under the impression that the name and identity of the tribe Pupinia was well established . I am surprised to find the note at the end of the list stating, "Two of the tribes are unclear; the thirty-fifth tribe has been found listed as both Succusana and Pupinia." I have seen academic sources, most of the them admittedly quite old and dated , as stating Suburana and Succusana were different names for the same tribe. Since there are no sources cited for this list, except other online lists, which actually do not support the comment regarding Pupinia, I believe more complete citations are needed for this list.
