Luciena (gens)

The nomen Lucienus appears to belong to a class of names derived from other names, including those of other gentilicia. It might therefore be derived from the praenomen Lucius, or the corresponding nomen.[1] Nomina ending in -enus were characteristic of Umbrian.[2]

This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.

• Lucienus, a senator, was a friend of Marcus Terentius Varro, and one of the speakers in Varro's dialogue, Rerum Rusticarum. He is apparently the same person mentioned by Cicero in a letter to Atticus.[3][4]
• Lucius Lucienus, the father of Lucius Lucienus Rufus.[5]
• Lucius Lucienus L. f. Rufus, a young man buried at Rome.[5]
• Lucius Lucienus Ɔ. l. Diocles, a freedman of the Lucieni, mentioned in the same inscription as Lucius Lucienus Rufus.[5]
• Luciena L. l. Philema, a freedwoman of the Lucieni, mentioned in the same inscription as Lucius Lucienus Rufus.[5]
