Cupiennia (gens)
The gens Cupiennia was a plebeian family at Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned toward the end of the Republic. None of them achieved any great importance.[1]
Members
- Gaius Cupiennius, a friend of Cicero, who wrote him a letter in 44 BC, reminding him of the friendship that had existed between him and Cupiennius' father, and entreating Cupiennius to interest himself in the affairs of the people of Buthrotum.[2]
- Gaius Cupiennius Libo, an inhabitant of Cumae, and a friend of Augustus, said by the scholiast on Horatius to be the same Cupiennius attacked by Horatius on account of his adulterous intercourse with Roman matrons.[3]
- Lucius and Gaius Cupiennius, appear on coins, but otherwise unknown.[4]
