Matinia (gens)

The gens Matinia was a minor plebeian family at Rome. Its most famous member may have been Publius Matinius, a money-broker in the time of Cicero.

Members

  • Publius Matinius, a money-broker, was recommended to Cicero by Marcus Junius Brutus in 51 BC, when Cicero was proconsul in Cilicia. Together with Marcus Scaptius, a client of Brutus, Matinius had loaned a considerable amount to the people of Salamis.[1]
  • Titus Matinius T. f. Hymenaeus,[lower-roman 1] named in an inscription found near the abbey of San Pietro at Ferentillo in Umbria.[2]
