Ticinia gens

The gens Ticinia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Almost no members of this gens are mentioned in history, but a few are known from inscriptions.

Origin
The nomen Ticinius belongs to a class of gentilicia formed using the suffix -inius, usually derived from cognomina ending in -inus. Here the root seems to be Ticinus, presumably referring to an inhabitant of Ticinum in Gallia Narbonensis.

 * Publius Ticinius Mela, brought the first barber to Rome from Sicily circa 300 BC.
