Travia gens
# Travia gens

The gens Travia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but a number are known from inscriptions.

## Praenomina

The main praenomina of the Travii were Titus and Marcus, among the most common names at all periods of Roman history. A few members of this gens bore other common names, including Gaius, Lucius, Publius, and Quintus.
