In light of recent vandalism on behalf of an annonymous Unionist, I think that this page should be semi-protected, protected, or something else. Opinions? Gorovich 13:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's necessary. Vandalism is usually rectified pretty quickly, and if it was just a once off then it might be excessive. Also, I edited the "3 men" link to Horatius Cocles, rather than the Horatii, though now that I look a bit closer I see that both articles say "referred to in the song "A nation once again." Anyone know for certain which is the intended meaning of the "3 men" who "bravely stood" for Rome? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lekitsch (talk • contribs) 18:21, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wolfe Tones are mentioned as having clearly Republican leanings, this is accurate, but what has that position go to do with the song itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.146.200 (talk) 20:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute Where are you getting that "the 3 Men" are the Caesar Assassins

The line "3 Men" refers to the three Horatii who defended Rome rather than their country go to war. This fits in with the "Lays of Rome" you mention and the fact that David's painting of the Horatii was widely known and popular at the time

The Ceasar Assassin theory doesn't hold as there were many more than 3 and in fact there are four acknowledged ringleaders of the Ceasar Assassination: Gaius Trebonius ,Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus;Gaius Cassius Linginus and Marcus Junius Brutus Ref http://www.ancient.eu/article/803/
