Suggested Stub[edit]

I suggest the following information (or some reworking thereof) which can be verified several places, be added:

Titus Manlius Torquatus (son of Lucius, Roman consul in 347, 344, and 340 BCE), according to Livy, ordered his own son beheaded for a breach of military discipline during a conflict with the Latins in 340 BCE. The name Torquatus ("necklet") comes from an incident in which he allegedly slew a "giant" barbarian opponent in single combat, taking the defeated enemy's golden necklet as a trophy.

The torc[edit]

If it was taken from a corpse, and not worked around his neck, how did he put it on? 69.218.220.5 (talk) 09:20, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
