Titania gens

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

Origin
The nomen Titanius is formed using the suffix -anius, usually indicating derivation from place names. The root of Titanius seems to be a cognomen, Titanus; Chase classifies the nomen among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else.

Members

 * Gaius Titanius, the former master of Titania Charis, a freedwoman of Aquileia in Venetia and Histria.
 * Titania C. l. Charis, a freedwoman, built a first- or second-century sepulchre at Aquileia for her husband, Sextus Teius Januarius, the freedman Quintus Catabronius Martialis, a woman named Titania Secundina, and two persons named Menandrus and Persicus.
 * Titania Secundina, buried in a first- or second-century sepulchre at Aquileia, built by the freedwoman Titania Charis for her husband and several others.
 * Titania Barbara, dedicated a second-century tomb at Vicus Fificulanus in Samnium for her son, Titus Opsturius Benivolus, aged twenty-seven. She is probably the same Barbara who dedicated a second-century monument at the same place for the freedman Titus Opsturius Dasius, probably her husband.
