Furnia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Furnia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. The Furnian gens was of great antiquity, dating to the first century of the Republic; Gaius Furnius was tribune of the plebs in 445 BC. However, no member of the family achieved prominence again for nearly four hundred years.[1]
