Porcius, feminine Porcia, masculine plural Porcii, was the name (nomen) of the gens Porcia, who apparently originated in Tusculum.
Contents
During the Roman Republic, the three branches of the gens were distinguished by the cognomina Laeca, Licinus, and Cato. The most illustrious were the Catones, especially the men known in the modern era as Cato the Elder and Cato the Younger.
During the Imperial era, the cognomina Festus, Latro, and Septimus are also found as branches of the Porcii.
