Lucceia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Lucceia, occasionally Luceia or Luccia, was a plebeian family at Rome, which flourished during the final century of the Republic and under the early Empire.

Origin

[edit]

The Lucceii may have been of Oscan origin, as the termination -eius frequently occurs in nomina of Oscan derivation, often alongside -ius as an alternative spelling, as Lucceius occurs alongside Luccius. The name appears to refer to a Lucanian, which would be consistent with such an origin.[1]
