Minicia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Minicia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the first century, achieving the consulate under the emperor Claudius. Owing to the similarity of their names, the Minicii are regularly confused with members of the ancient and far more prominent gens Minucia.[1]

Origin

[edit]

The Minucii originally came from Brixia in Cisalpine Gaul. That city had received a Roman colony shortly before the Second Punic War, and its inhabitants received Roman citizenship in 41 BC.[1]
