Persia Gens
The gens Persia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned during the Second Punic War, but they only occasionally occur in history. The most illustrious of the family was the satirist Aulus Persius Flaccus, who lived during the middle part of the first century.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, pp. 209–211 ("Persius"). Origin The Persii Flacci are known to have been from Volaterrae in Etruria, and a number of other Persii are found in inscriptions from Volaterrae, as well as the neighboring city of Populonia. It therefore appears that the Persii were originally an Etruscan family, some of whom had settled at Rome by the third century BC. One of the Persii living in Dalmatia bore the surname ''Etruscus'', further indicating that the family claimed Etruscan descent. Praenomina The chief praenomina of the Persii were '' Aulus'', ''Gaius'', and ''Lucius'', all of which were common names throughout Rom ...
