Hello, despite reading and re-reading this paragraph numerous times, I am none the wiser. It at once seems to confuse Nero with Caligula and uses too many "his" references to be sure who "he" is. The first instance of "His mother" would suggest we are talking about Caligula (if his sisters were Agrippina and Julia Livilla). However, the next reference of "his mother" must refer to Agrippina the Younger, for her involvement in the plot against Caligula, which means we are now talking about Nero. What was the "serious political scandal"? I can't guess because I don't know who we're talking about.
"Domitius died in AD 41. A few years before his father's death, his father was involved in a serious political scandal. His mother and his two surviving sisters, Agrippina and Julia Livilla, were exiled to a remote island in the Mediterranean Sea. His mother was said to have been exiled for plotting to overthrow the emperor Caligula." Ymisyd (talk) 00:47, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Will change when able, I agree - it lacks clarity. FullyNatural (talk) 11:07, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fifth paragraph states that Nero formally entered adult life at 14, citing Shotter. The source states that Nero was "not quite 14", i.e. 13. This is significant as early accession to the toga was an honor previously bestowed on preferred heirs. See e.g. Griffin, Nero, 1984, at 29. 136.62.44.65 (talk) 05:33, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've adjusted the text from "at 14" to "while 13". NebY (talk) 17:26, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
