Statoria gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Statoria was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the time of the Second Punic War. None of them ever attained any of the higher offices of the Roman state.[1]

Origin

[edit]

The nomen Statorius is derived from Stator, an epithet of Jupiter and Mars. Chase classifies it among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else.[2]
