The gens Scoedia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are known entirely from inscriptions dating to the early Empire. Gaius Scoedius Natta Pinarianus obtained the consulship under Titus.[1]
The Scoedii may have been of Umbrian origin, as nearly all of the inscriptions of this family are from Umbria or neighboring parts of Cisalpine Gaul.
The surname Natta, referring to a fuller, was inherited from the ancient Pinaria gens, from whom the consul Scoedius must have been descended, based on his agnomen, Pinarianus. Such connections may account for his rise to the consulship from an otherwise obscure family.
