Branches and cognomina

The only distinct family of the Plautii during the middle Republic bore the cognomen ''Venno'' or ''Venox'', a hunter. Frontinus describes a story, in which Gaius Plautius, censor in 312 BC, obtained the cognomen ''Venox'' by discovering the springs that fed the
Aqua Appia The Aqua Appia was the first Roman aqueduct, and its construction was begun in 312 BC by the Roman censor, censor Appius Claudius Caecus, who also built the important Via Appia. By the end of the 1st century BC it had fallen out of use as an aq ...
, Rome's first aqueduct.Frontinus, ''De Aquaeductu'', i. 5. However, ''Venno'' occurs before this, and appears more often in the ''fasti''. The first of this family to obtain the consulship bore the additional cognomen ''Hypsaeus'', later spelled ''Ypsaeus'' on coins, which was evidently a personal cognomen, as it does not appear again for over a century, when this name replaces the older ''Venno''. ''Proculus'', which occurs as the cognomen of the first Plautius to obtain the consulship, also seems to have been a personal cognomen; it is not apparent whether this Plautius was part of the same family as the Vennones. ''Proculus'' was an old praenomen, which the Roman antiquarians supposed to have been given to a child born when his father was far from home, although morphologically it seems to be a diminutive of ''Proca'', a name occurring in Roman mythology as one of the
Kings of Alba Longa The kings of Alba Longa, or Alban kings (Latin: ''reges Albani''), were a series of legendary kings of Latium, who ruled from the ancient city of Alba Longa. In the mythic tradition of ancient Rome, they fill the 400-year gap between the settleme ...
