[edit] impeachment
I delinked 'impeached'. The link that it led to discussed impeachment in the sense of expelled from office. Under the Romans, any prosecution had to wait until the one to be prosecuted had left office. Clodius did not 'impeach' (strictly) Milo, but prosecuted him. Bucketsofg✐ 03:37, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] INCEST
This isn't addressed AT ALL in this article. There were rumors that he was having incestuous sex with all of his sisters, which are found in many of Cicero's speeches (esp. "de haruspicum responsis"). It also needs more of his personal life in general, because his image/personality was important toward his political career.
Yes, in section 32 of his Pro Caelio Cicero asks Clodia, "Quod quidem facerem vehementius, nisi intercederent mihi inimicitiae cum istius mulieris viro – fratrem dicere volui." Although seemingly referring to her husband Metellus, Cicero uses the notation frater as an adianoeta conjugately implicating Clodius. ZLRStavis 03:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)ZLRStavis
[edit] Clodia
Why was (before I deleted it) there so much information on his sister, when his sister's profile barely mentions him? Naerhu 10:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
