What does the date in the article title mean? He was neither born nor died in that year. I imagine it's a consulate year (?), but if that absolutely needs to be said straight out. john k 23:56, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

it seems to be the earliest year associated with the guy. GreatWhiteNortherner 00:15, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

According to Encyclopedia.com, that was the year he became praetor. This is really bad for an encyclopedia article title. Perhaps we should have Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (triumvir)? john k 00:43, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Works for me. GreatWhiteNortherner 06:26, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Why the hell was this changed? Because of somebodys religion (look in history)? Nobody cares about your religion, this is Wikipedia...

"The excuse he needed", and other stuff too, written as regular text, is not proper.

He seems to be rather an afterthought on this largely irrelevant diagram, poor chap.qp10qp 23:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It has almost nothing to do with Lepidus. --Tomaxer (talk) 21:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a preposterous category. I agree with the incredible definition in clergy just about anybody would qualify. A Pontifex Maximus was appointed or elected for a short term. He did not have to be religious nor a strict practitioner. Just had to lead several annual Roman ceremonies and cut a few chickens, I suppose. Not exactly what the category was created to include.

"Octavian, Antony and Lepidus met on an island in a river near Mutina (modern Modena), their armies lined along opposite banks..."

This river had THREE banks? GeneCallahan (talk) 05:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

in 43 b.c. there was a fierce battle between troops of octavian and hirtius and pansa. i think this is quit important to mention
