Reginia gens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gens Reginia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens are mentioned in history, but several are known from inscriptions.[1]
The nomen Reginius belongs to a class of gentilicia formed from cognomina ending in -inus.[2] Reginus, the surname and probable root of this nomen, belongs to a type of cognomen derived from the names of places, in this case the ancient city of Rhegium in Bruttium, presumable the place where the ancestors of the Reginii lived.[3][4]
