An article on the Senones links here relating to a Roman General who conquered the Senones in the early 270s BC. Naerhu 05:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst reading Plutarch's 'Lives' (Cambridge Greek Anthology) I came across a Cornelius Dolabella who was 'a conspicuous young man among the companions of Caesar [Augustus].' The Dolabella discussed in this article died to early for it to be him, and it is probably too early (the extract being from the death of Cleopatra) for his grandson who succeeded him as consul in 10 AD. Who then is this conspicuous Dolabella of whom we know nothing? Could he possibly be the son of Cornelius the Elder, father of Cornelius the younger? Or did he, by sheer coincidence, happen to be a high flyer with the same name? 89.241.149.219 18:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Lord Gnome89.241.149.219 18:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just reading Plutarch's life of Antony and came across this Dolabella (Antony c. 8). Which life and chapter are you referring to? JW (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism-

I really don't think Dolabella could be described as a "Silly Billy" like it says at the end of the page. Could someone please fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.74.25 (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
