Canuleia (gens)

The gens Canuleia was a plebeian family at Rome. Although members of the gens are known throughout the period of the Roman Republic, none of them ever obtained the consulship. Nevertheless, they were a senatorial family, and furnished several tribunes of the plebs.[1]

Praenomina used by the gens

The Canuleii used the praenomina Gaius, Lucius, and Marcus, the three most common names throughout Roman history.[2]

Branches and cognomina of the gens

The only surname of the Canuleii is Dives, referring to one who possesses great wealth. None of the other Canuleii mentioned in history are known to have borne cognomina.[3][4]
