	I think that things such as filiation, not being part of the name selection process for new citizens, need not be mentioned here. 04:18, 4 August 2008 (CEST)		I think that things such as filiation, not being part of the name selection process for new citizens, need not be mentioned here. 04:18, 4 August 2008 (CEST)

		+
		+	==Other Elements==
		+
		+	Although the ''tria nomina'' are the core of a Roman name, there are times when a Roman might include other elements in his name. These are not really part of his name as such but are additional pieces of information about him and his place in the community.
		+
		+	===Filiation===
		+
		+	After a person's ''nomen'' and before his ''cognomen'' a Roman may include the ''praenomen'' of his father and, sometimes, his father's father. This is done in the following way:
		+
		+	'''M. Tullius M. f. M. n. Cicero'''
		+
		+	This means "Marcus Tullius Marci filius Marci nepos Cicero", or "Marcus Tullius, son of Marcus, grandson of Marcus, Cicero".
		+
		+	===Tribe===
		+	{{:Tribe}}
		+
		+	Read more about [[tribe\|tribes in ancient Rome]].
		+
		+	Tribes are not ethnic groups, but membership of a tribe is normally hereditary (though it is possible for a person to move from one tribe to another at the discretion of the [[Censor (Nova Roma)\|Censores]]). The urban tribes contain those citizens who do not pay annual taxes.
		+
		+	== How to use Roman names? ==
		+
		+	It's not enough to choose a correct Roman name, you have to use it correctly as Romans did. You can find much interesting information on using Roman names and other forms of address in the article [[Using Roman names\|"Using Roman names"]].
