Sattia gens


The gens Sattia was an obscure plebeian family of senatorial rank at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are known from the final century of the Republic to the time of Diocletian, but few of them held any of the higher offices of the Roman state.

Praenomina

The main praenomina of the Sattii were Gaius, Sextus, Quintus, and Marcus, all of which were very common throughout Roman history.
