Strabonia gens
# Strabonia gens

The gens Strabonia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by ancient writers, but several are known from inscriptions.

## Origin

The nomen Strabonius belongs to a class of gentilicia derived primarily from cognomina ending in -o. The surname Strabo was originally applied to a person known for squinting, part of a large group of cognomina deriving from the physical traits and characteristics of an individual.

## Praenomina

All of the Strabonii found in inscriptions bear common praenomina, including Gaius, Publius, Titus, and Quintus.
