Aedinia gens
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The gens Aedinia, occasionally found as Haedinia, was an obscure plebeian family of ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but a number are known from inscriptions. A few held minor magistracies, or were locally important, and by the third century some were of senatorial rank. A Marcus Aedinius Julianus of this period was governor of Gallia Lugdunensis, and later praetorian prefect.[1]
Origin
Several of the earliest inscriptions of the Aedinii come from Volcei in Lucania. Later epigraphy shows Aedinii throughout the Empire, particularly concentrated in northern Africa.
Praenomina
The only praenomina found among the Aedinii known from epigraphy are Lucius, Gaius, Quintus, Marcus, and Publius, all of which were among the most common names at all periods of Roman history.
