Aquinia gens explained

The gens Aquinia was a plebeian family in Rome. The gens does not appear to have been particularly large or important, and is known primarily from two individuals.^[1]

Members of the gens

• Marcus Aquinius, a partisan of Gnaeus Pompeius in Africa, who took part in the war against Caesar. After the defeat of the Pompeians, he was pardoned by Caesar.^[2]
• Aquinius, a very inferior poet, a contemporary of Catullus and Cicero.^{[3] [4]}
