List Of Roman Nomina
This is a list of Roman nomina. The nomen identified all free Roman citizens as members of individual '' gentes'', originally families sharing a single nomen and claiming descent from a common ancestor. Over centuries, a gens could expand from a single family to a large clan, potentially including hundreds or even thousands of members. Some of these may have been the descendants of freedmen or persons who entered the gens through adoption, while in other cases, different families that had assumed the same nomen in the distant past became confused with one another, and came to be regarded as a single gens. In the following list, "I" and "J" are treated as separate letters, as are "U" and "V". The letter "K" was rare in Latin, and the few nomina occasionally spelled with this letter were usually spelled with "C". No Roman gentes began with "X", and the letters "Y" and "Z" occurred only in names borrowed from Greek. The letter "W" did not exist in Classical Latin. Nomina are ...

Nomen Gentilicium
The (or simply ) was a hereditary name borne by the peoples of Roman Italy and later by the citizens of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. It was originally the name of one's (family or clan) by patrilineal descent. However, as Rome expanded its frontiers and non-Roman peoples were progressively granted citizenship and concomitant , the latter lost its value in indicating patrilineal ancestry. For men, the was the middle of the ("three names"), after the and before the . For women, the was often the only name used until the late Republic. For example, three members of gens ''Julia'' were Gaius ''Julius'' Caesar and his sisters ''Julia'' Major and ''Julia'' Minor ("Julia the elder" and "Julia the younger"). History The ''nomen gentilicium'', or "gentile name" designated a Roman citizen as a member of a ''gens''. A ''gens'', which may be translated as "race", "family", or "clan", constituted an extended Roman family, all of whom shared the same ''nomen'', and claim ...

Aelia Gens
The gens Aelia, occasionally written Ailia, was a plebeian family in Rome, which flourished from the fifth century BC until at least the third century AD, a period of nearly eight hundred years. The archaic spelling ''Ailia'' is found on coins, but must not be confused with ''Allia'', which is a distinct gens. The first member of the family to obtain the consulship was Publius Aelius Paetus in 337 BC. Under the empire the Aelian name became still more celebrated. It was the name of the emperor Hadrian, and consequently of the Antonines, whom he adopted. A number of landmarks built by Hadrian also bear the name ''Aelius''. The ''Pons Aelius'' is a bridge in Rome, now known as the ''Ponte Sant'Angelo''. ''Pons Aelius'' also refers to a Roman settlement in Britannia Inferior, now the site of Newcastle upon Tyne, while ''Aelia Capitolina'' was a Roman colony built on the ruins of Jerusalem.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.

Albinovana Gens
The gens Albinovana was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are known to have held any of the higher offices of the Roman state, and hardly any are mentioned in history. The family is perhaps best known from Publius Albinovanus, an infamous participant in the civil war between Marius and Sulla, and from the first-century poet Albinovanus Pedo. A number of Albinovani are known from inscriptions. Origin The nomen ''Albinovanus'' belongs to a class of ending in ', of which some are derived from place names, but many are also typical of Etruria. The first of this family to appear in history, Publius Albinovanus, was among the partisans of Gaius Marius, who indeed had a large Etruscan clientele, making that a likely origin for the Albinovani. The same Albinovanus later commanded a legion of Lucanians in 82 BC, suggesting an affinity with that region instead, but there is no further evidence of such a connection. In older scholarship, ''Albinovanus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Albia Gens
The gens Albia was a minor plebeian family at Rome. They were of senatorial rank during the latter part of the Republic, but the only of this gens who obtained the consulship was Lucius Albius Pullaienus Pollio, in AD 90. Other Albii are known from various parts of Italy. Origin The nomen ''Albius'' is derived from the common Latin surname ''Albus'', meaning "white".Chase, pp. 110, 127, 129. Chase classifies it among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else. The Albii Oppianici mentioned by Cicero in his oration, '' Pro Cluentio'', bore the unusual praenomen ''Statius'', which was scarce at Rome except among slaves or freedmen. It was an Oscan name that seems to have been fairly common in central and southern Italy.Chase, pp. 137, 138. This may indicate that at least part of the family was of Sabine or Samnite origin, and indeed the Albii Oppianici were residents of Larinum in Samnium, although the surname ''Oppiani ...

Albinia (gens)

The first member of this gens to achieve prominence was Lucius Albinius Paterculus, one of the first men to hold the office of tribune of the plebs, after it was created in 494 BC. Origin The nomen ''Albinia'' is probably derived from the cognomen ''Albinus'', a lengthened form of ''Albus'', meaning "white" or "whitish". Praenomina The Albinii are known to have used the praenomina ''Lucius, Gaius'', and '' Marcus''.
