Ricimer's mother (Wallia's daughter) would have been unlikely to marry a Suevic prince before Wallia himself became king in 415, and most likely not till the end of the war between the Suevi and the Visigoths in 418. A date of birth of 410 for Ricimer is therefore about 10-15 years too early.
Describing Ricimer as a "barbarian" is inappropriate in an encyclopedia such as this. The word is culturally loaded (then and now). I suggest some other, neutral word be substituted. Salim555 03:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
isn't it Pronounced RI KI MER? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthurian Legend ( talk • contribs) 04:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
This used to have the caption "Ricimer's monogram is struck on the reverse of this coin by Libius Severus." It disappeared here: [1]
If there is nothing more to this coin, than the fact it has one of Ricimers puppets on it, I don't see any value of having it in the article?
Or is it his monogram or something? Greswik ( talk) 23:22, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Where is from this statement: Ricimer was married to Alypia, born c. 455, a daughter of Anthemius and Marcia Euphemia. They had a son, Comes Aunemundus, born c. 470? What source give the information? -- Kvestor ( talk) 18:11, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
If his mother was the daughter of Wallia, king of the Wisigoths from 415/16 until 418/19, Ricimer was not born ca 405 but later, after 415. 92.90.19.34 ( talk) 12:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Wasn't He since He killed all the leaders and not of his where ever accepted as true leaders. He basically was the biggest cause of the Political Fall of the Roman Empire. Obviously there where many other reasons — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.91.76 ( talk) 07:54, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
In the Rikimer article, it states that he marries the sister of Burgundian King Gundioc, who succeeded Gunther after the destructions of Worms.
In the Gundioc article, it says Gundioc marries the sister of Rikimer. Can anyone clarify or source as to who married whom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.126.236 ( talk) 01:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

The article says that the seal is "lost", but I find that dubious. The object was last kept at the BnF Museum in Paris, to whom it was donated in 1976. For recent (2007) high-resolution photographs of the seal, see here. Why the 2008 book by Kornbluth would say that it is lost (as claimed in this thread on Reddit, which appears to be the source) is beyond me. Renerpho ( talk) 21:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
