Cossutia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Cossutia was a plebeian family of equestrian rank at ancient Rome. It never attained any importance.[1]

Origin

[edit]

It is conjectured by some from Cicero's mention of the Cossutianae tabulae, near Caesena, in Gallia Cisalpina, that the Cossutii originally came from that place.[1][2]

Branches and cognomina

[edit]

On coins of this gens, we find the cognomens Maridianus and Sabula, but none occur in history.[1]
