Insteia (gens)

Jump to: navigation, search

The gens Insteia was a minor family at Rome. None of its members held any of the curule magistracies under the Republic, but several served as military commanders under Rome's leading generals during the first century BC and in Imperial times, and by the second century the family was important enough to obtain the consulship.
