CiceroD Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Titus Pullo character from both Caesar's Commentaries and the Rome TV Series doesn't seem to have a nomen gentile Titus is obviously the praenomen Pullo looks like a cognomen why the omission? Even if one wasn't a man of three names he would at least have a gens name right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingsoc Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Pullo is the nomen, you need to remember that not all Roman had a cognomen. A good example to this is Marcus Antonius of the plebian Antonii while the patrician branch of the Antonii used the cognomen Merenda.
