Minucius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minucius (rarely also Minicius) was a Roman nomen gentile. At the beginning of the fifth century BC it was a patrician family (existence of this branch might be fictive) and since the end of the fourth century BC a plebeian family. Nine members of this family were consuls.
Known members:
- Marcus Minucius Augurinus, consul 497 BC and 491 BC
- Publius Minucius Augurinus, consul 492 BC
- Lucius Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus, suffect consul 458 BC
- Quintus Minucius Esquilinus, consul 457 BC
- Minucius, pontifex maximus 420 BC
- Tiberius Minucius Augurinus, consul 305 BC, the first known plebeian Minucius
- Marcus Minucius Rufus (consul 221 BC)
- Quintus Minucius Rufus, consul 197 BC
- Quintus Minucius Thermus, consul 193 BC
- Marcus Minucius Rufus (consul 110 BC)
- Marcus Minucius Thermus, praetor 81 BC
- Marcus Minucius Felix, Christian apologist 2nd/3rd century AD
After this family or its members were named street Via Minucia, a bridge Pons Minucia on the Via Flaminia. A columned hall on Campus Martius, the Porticus Minucia, was named after consul in 110 BC.
