Talk:Tumultus L. Equitio Dec. Iunio cos. (Nova Roma)

As M. Lucretius suggested on the wiki e-mail list, let's use this discussion page to think about what would be a better term than "civil war". Suggestions so far have been "magistrates' feud of 1998", "the recent unpleasantness", and "the constitutional crisis of 1998".

I think "feud" tends to suggest a long-running personal enmity rather than a particular crisis-type event. "The recent unpleasantness" is quite nice, but it does carry possibly unhelpful overtones of modern American history. "Constitutional crisis" - now my problem is that I can't remember exactly what happened so I don't know whether "constitutional" is an accurate description of the crucial issues. I'll go and have a look in the archives to remind myself.
