Cossutia gens

Ancient Roman family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Cossutia was a minor plebeian family of equestrian rank of ancient Rome.[1][2] Only a few members of this gens appear in history, but many others are known from epigraphy.[2]

Origin

The Cossutii were evidently not of Latin origin. Chase suggests that their name is derived from the Volscian name Cossuties.[3] This accords with recent scholarship; based on the various cognomina borne by members of this gens, Rawson concludes that they likely originated in the highlands of central Italy.[4] Cicero mentions the tabernae, or wine-shops of Cossutius, a merchant near Caesena in Cisalpine Gaul,[5][4] perhaps indicating that the Cossutii were an Umbrian family of that area.[2]

Praenomina

The chief praenomina of the Cossutii were Gnaeus, Marcus, Gaius, Quintus, and Lucius, all of which were common throughout Roman history. A few of the Cossutii bore other common names, with several instances of Publius and Sextus known from epigraphy, and a few occurrences of Aulus, Decimus, Titus, and Servius.

Branches and cognomina

Besides the architect Decimus Cossutius, other Cossutii lived throughout the Greek world during the first and second centuries BC, including at Erythrae and in Eretria, and on the islands of Delos,[6] Ios, Kos, and Paros, the latter of which was known for its marble. These Cossuti often worked in the stone industry, in which the family was involved in various capacities until at least the second century.[6] Coins of the Cossutii include the cognomina Maridianus and Sabula, but nothing is known of the persons bearing these surnames.[2]

A branch of the family, possibly including Decimus Cossutius, may have been resident at Athens from the early second century BC; an inscription from the city's Kerameikos cemetery commemorates "Marcus Cossutius, son of Gaius, a Roman", rendering the name "Marcus" in Greek letters as Μαάρκος: the double-alpha spelling is most common in inscriptions from around the turn of the first century BC.[7]

Three first-century BC statues from Italy, two depicting the god Pan from a villa at Lanuvium and one from Rome depicting a fragment of drapery, were signed by freedmen of this gens.[7] A late first- or early second-century funerary inscription for a member of this family from Rome shows stoneworkers' tools, and two of its members are known to been active at Chemtou in North Africa in the second century.[6] From the late second century BC, freedmen of the gens are known to have served as magistrates in Campania, and to have lived at Puteoli; Cossutii are also attested at Pompeii, probably early in the first century AD, and in undated inscriptions in and around Campania.[7] Other inscriptions place a freedman of the gens in Etruria and two freedmen of the gens as marble-workers.[8]
