Erbonia gens

Most of the Erbonii bore the praenomen Sextus, and many of these were freedmen or the descendants of freedmen, probably indicating their descent from slaves manumitted by a Sextus Erbonius who settled at Julium Carnicum or Aquileia. A few Erbonii bore other common praenomina, including Gaius and Publius.

This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
