Obultronia (gens)

The gens Obultronia was an obscure plebeian family at Rome. Most members of this gens are known only from inscriptions, especially a group from Casinum in Latium, and another from Salona in Dalmatia.

  • Obultronius Sabinus, quaestor aerarii in AD 56.

In AD 68, Sabinus was unjustly put to death by Galba in Spain.[13][14][15]
