Ticinia gens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gens Ticinia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Almost no members of this gens are mentioned in history, but a few are known from inscriptions.
The nomen Ticinius belongs to a class of gentilicia formed using the suffix -inius, usually derived from cognomina ending in -inus.[1] Here the root seems to be Ticinus, presumably referring to an inhabitant of Ticinum in Gallia Narbonensis.
