onus - wrong word?[edit]

From the article: He acquired the cognomen Brutus, "Dullard",[7] by playing the pleasant fool so as not to attract the king's onus.

Onus usually means responsibility. It has a couple of other, related meanings, but none seems appropriate here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.212.7.1 (talk) 19:03, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the entire sentence. SilkTork (talk) 11:14, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lucretia as a role model? Source doesn't seem to say that explicitly[edit]

The article says "Because of her devotion to her husband, Roman writers Livy and Dionysius outline Lucretia as the role model for Roman girls.", citing 'Wiseman, T.P. (1998). "Roman Republic, Year One". Greece and Rome (1 ed.). 45: 19–26. doi:10.1093/gr/45.1.19.', but from scanning through it I don't see where that particular article supports the claim. 2001:678:560:23:D129:99E1:146B:F03A (talk) 09:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
