Move to Liberalis Circulum

Since we have all the Templar and Assassin branches at their official names, such as "Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins" or "West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins" or "Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins, shouldn't we also have this page at its official name? There is an Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, but the one of the Roman times is a distinct branch and also predates the development of Assassin Guilds by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Thus, its official name here is Liberalis Circulum, even if it's not in the same format as the official names of he later guilds, it's still its official name and therefore it would be consistent to have this page moved to Liberalis Circulum even if it's a foreign word. The Essential Guide doesn't confirm if it was also known as the Roman Brotherhood even though the Egyptian Brotherhood of Assassins and the Persian Brotherhood of Assassins bore those names (perhaps applied by modern Assassins retroactively).

I suppose for the sake of consistency it would be preferable to call them the Roman Brotherhood of Assassins. If it helps, the statue of Leonius in Assassin's Creed II explicitly identifies him as a "Roman Assassin". The Wikia Editor (talk) 01:32, February 19, 2017 (UTC)

I would actually disagree with calling them the Roman Brotherhood of Assassins because not only is that not confirmed to have been one of their official names, but we also know their official name to be Liberalis Circulum. In fact, as far as I know, they didn't go by the name "Assassin" themselves at the time, though I'm sure later Assassins applied that name retroactively to them. I think the only issue with using Liberalis Circulum is that the name is in Latin. I personally would prefer using the English translation "Circle of Liberals", but as a translation, it might not be an ideal choice. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 01:18, February 19, 2017 (UTC)
