Gabinia gens
The gens Gabinia was a
plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens first appear in the second century BC.[1] The nomen derives from the city of Gabii, east of Rome.[2]
Praenomina
All of the Gabinii known from historical records bore the praenomina Aulus, Publius, and possibly Gaius.[1]
Branches and cognomina
The Gabinii do not seem to have been divided into distinct stirpes. The surnames Capito, Cimber, and Sisenna are associated with individual members.[1]
