Romania gens
P Aculeius: Saving beginnings of article on the Romanii.
The '''gens Romania''' was an obscure [[plebs|plebeian]] family at [[ancient Rome]]. No members of this [[gens]] appear in history, but many are known from inscriptions.
==Origin==
The [[Roman naming conventions#Nomen|nomen]] ''Romanius'' belongs to a large class of gentilicia formed from surnames ending in the suffix ''-anus'', typically derived from place-names. Here the name is derived from a cognomen, ''Romanus'', referring to a resident of Rome itself.<ref>Chase, p. 118.</ref><ref>''New College Latin & English Dictionary'', ''s. v. Romanus''.</ref>
