The gens Latinia was a minor family at ancient Rome, which flourished during Imperial times.
The nomen Latinius seems to imply that the ancestors of the gens were Latins, and perhaps were once known by the surname of Latinus, designating them as such. But one of the earliest records of the family is an inscription on an Etruscan cinerary urn, dating from the third century BC, which reads, AV·LATINI·VELSIAL, that is, "Aulus Latinius, son of Velsia". So the name may originally have been applied to an Etruscan family of Latin origin.
This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
