Gaius Rabirius
The gens Rabiria was a minor plebeian family at Ancient Rome. Although of senatorial rank, few members of this gens appear in history, and the only one known to have held any of the higher offices of the Roman state was Gaius Rabirius Postumus, who was praetor ''circa'' 48 or 47 BC. Origin The great majority of Rabirii known from inscriptions lived in Italy, and a large family of this name seems to have lived at Tusculum, an ancient city of Latium not far from Rome. Another of the Rabirii bears the cognomen ''Tiburtinus'', indicating that he or his ancestors probably came from Tibur, another city of northern Latium, not far from Rome and Tusculum, and strongly suggesting that the Rabirii were Latins. Praenomina The chief praenomina of the Rabirii are ''Gaius'' and '' Publius'', both of which were among the most common names throughout Roman history. Other praenomina appear sporadically, including '' Gnaeus'', ''Lucius'', '' Marcus'', '' Numerius'', '' Quintus'', and ''Sextus''. ...
