Pontifex maximus

Salve, amice! For the time being, we have to let M. Piscinus be recorded with the title pontifex maximus, until we do not elect another pontifex maximus. M. Antonius most clearly refused it, and the second elected was M. Piscinus. So, there are two possibilities: 1) the pontifex maximus remained the sitting one (because Antonius refused it), 2) if the first elected refused it, the second one got it (Piscinus). But anyway, and by all means, this question is dubious at best, and the best we can do is to move with the common sense, common opinion, as our citizenry and the magistrates still dealt with, negotiated with, and called him as pontifex maximus after the last voting, up to this day. Let's focus instead on the clear thing: an election is in process now, which will give a clear result: that should be what we shall record here. --Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus 10:55, 8 November 2010 (CET)
