Salvete omnes,
I'm reading a chronology of the Roman Republic, and it mentions, in the early Republic, one Publius Appius Claudius Pulcher. Now I've heard of several people in the late Republic with the name of Appius Claudius Pulcher, but never with a second praenomen tacked on the beginning. Does anyone know why he had two praenomina?
Bene valete,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus.
