Menia gens
Minor Roman family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gens Menia was a minor Roman family. None of its members is known to have held any magistracies, but a few are known from inscriptions and mentions in ancient writers.
Members
- Menius Rufus, generally supposed to have been a physician mentioned by Asclepiades Pharmacion, and who must therefore have lived in or before the first century AD. He may be the same Rufus quoted by Andromachus the Younger, according to Galen, and perhaps also by Servilius Damocrates.[1][2]
- Publius Menius Luscus, a surveyor of grain, buried at Salernum, in Campania.[3]
- Gaius Menius Sabinus, a soldier, who dedicated a statue to Hercules Invictus at Melta, in the province of Moesia Inferior.[4]
- Aulus Menius Amillus Nepos, buried at Thugga in Africa Proconsularis, aged two.[5]
