Neratia (gens)

The gens Neratia was a plebeian family at Rome, some of whom subsequently became patricians. The first of the gens to appear in history occur in the time of Augustus, but they did not rise to prominence until the time of Vespasian, when Marcus Neratius Pansa became the first to obtain the consulship.

Origin

The nomen Neratius is classified by Chase with a group of names, ending in -atius, either because they were derived from cognomina ending in -as or -atis, indicating cognomina derived from place names, or from passive participles ending in -atus.[1]
