Tutoria gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Tutoria was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but a number are known from inscriptions.

Origin

[edit]

The nomen Tutorius belongs to a class of gentilicia derived from cognomina indicating the occupation of the bearer.[1] A tutor was a guardian or protector.[2]

Praenomina

[edit]

The Tutorii used a variety of praenomina, particularly Publius, Gnaeus, and Numerius, of which the last was uncommon at Rome, although widespread in the countryside. Other names were used by individual Tutorii, including Decimus, Lucius, Marcus, and Titus.

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

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The inscription doesn't indicate how Naso and Nasica were related—perhaps a father and son, but without more information it isn't clear which would be which. Tutoria is named immediately following Naso, suggesting that she was his wife, rather than Nasica's.
  2. ^ Perhaps this should be son-in-law.
