Satria gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Satria was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are mentioned in the first century BC, and under the early Empire, but none of them rose higher than the rank of praetor. Otherwise the Satrii are known largely from inscriptions.[1][2]

Origin

[edit]

The nomen Satrius belongs to a large class of gentilicia apparently of Oscan origin, which may account for why the name does not appear at Rome until the end of the Republic. The nomen Satrienus seems to have been derived from Satrius using the gentile-forming suffix -enus, which was generally applied to existing nomina.[3]
