Coruncanii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coruncanius (fem. Coruncania) was the nomen of the gens Corancanii, who apparently originated in Tusculum.

Tacitus refers to the family as being from Camerium, which is presumably a reference to Cameria, one of the cities conquered by Tarquinius Priscus for Rome.
