Porcii

Porcii

Porcius (fem. Porcia) was the nomen of the "gens" Porcii, who apparently originated in Tusculum [Tacitus, Annals XI.23] .

The gens was divided into three families during the republic, bearing the cognomens Laeca, Licinus and Cato. The most well-known line is the Cato cognomen, who were descended from Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Elder).

During the imperial period of Rome three more families, bearing the cognomens Festus, Latro and Septimus (seventh), occurred.
