Reginia gens

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]

Origin

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]
