Ancient Roman family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gens Albinia was a plebeian family at Rome during the early centuries of the Republic. The first member of this gens to achieve prominence was Lucius Albinius Paterculus, one of the first men to hold the office of tribune of the plebs, after it was created in 494 BC.[1]
The nomen Albinia is probably derived from the cognomen Albinus, a lengthened form of Albus, meaning "white" or "whitish".
The Albinii are known to have used the praenomina Lucius, Gaius, and Marcus.[2]
The only cognomen associated with the Albinii is Paterculus, a diminutive of pater, which may be translated as "little father", "uncle", or "daddy".[3][4]
