Numicius
(243 words)
Name of a Roman family, which died out at the beginning of the 3rd cent. BC. Of the two Republican namesakes who held offices, N. [1] was of plebeian origin, while N. [2] must have been a patrician. Considering the questionable historicity of the latter, there were perhaps only plebeian
Numicii, although this question cannot be definitively settled (on this topic [1. 20]). [German version] [1] N., T. Guarantor of the Caudinian agreement, handed over to the Samnites in 320 BC As one of the guarantors of the Caudine treaty, he was handed over to the Samnites in 320 BC (Cic. O…

Sulpicius
(5,409 words)
Name of a Roman patrician family, probably originally from Cameria (hence the cognomen
Camerinus); documented in the
fasti from
c. 500 BC. The otherwise rare praenomen Servius appears comparatively frequently and at times is even used in place of the
nomen gentile (Tac. Hist. 2,48; Plut. Galba 3,1). The number of cognomina within the
gens is high, but it has been impossible to identify clear branches. The link between the S. from the 3rd to the 2nd and 1st cent. BC is unclear. In the 2nd cent. BC, the most important branch of the family was that of the Sulpicii Galbae; it finally died out with the emperor Galba [2]. The branch of the Sulpicii Rufi produced the most famous jurist o…

Republican period [German version] [I 1] T., Attius As 'by far the first man of the Volsci at the time' (Liv. 2,35,7), tradition connected him with the story of Coriolanus, in which T. supported the latter in his plans out of an old hate for the Romans (Liv. 2,37,1-8; 2,38,1-5; 2,39,1; 2,40,12). His name sometimes led to confusion in the Greek authors (e.g. Dion. Hal. Ant. Rom. 8,1…
