From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

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[edit]

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

Branches and cognomina of the gens[edit]

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]
