Ateia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Ateia was a plebeian family at Rome. The gens does not appear to have been particularly large or important, and is known from a small number of individuals, of whom the most illustrious was the jurist Gaius Ateius Capito, consul in AD 5.[1]

Praenomina

[edit]

The only praenomina associated with the Ateii mentioned by Roman writers are Lucius, Gaius, and Marcus, the three most common names at all periods of Roman history.
