Titania gens


The gens Titania 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

The nomen Titanius is formed using the suffix , usually indicating derivation from place names. The root of Titanius seems to be a cognomen, Titanus; Chase classifies the nomen among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else.
