Strabonia gens

The gens Strabonia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by ancient writers, but several are known from inscriptions.

Origin
The nomen Strabonius belongs to a class of gentilicia derived primarily from cognomina ending in -o. The surname Strabo was originally applied to a person known for squinting, part of a large group of cognomina deriving from the physical traits and characteristics of an individual.

Praenomina
All of the Strabonii found in inscriptions bear common praenomina, including Gaius, Publius, Titus, and Quintus.
