Sinicia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Sinicia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by ancient writers, but a few are known from inscriptions, mostly from Numidia, where they were locally prominent. Lucius Sinicius Reginus followed the cursus honorum at Rome, reaching the rank of praetor.[1]
