Earliest Record

image306

 The gens Fulcinia was a family at Rome. The first of this name to appear in history is Gaius Fulcinius, one of the ambassadors to Fidenae in 438 BC. After this, no Fulcinius is mentioned until the time of Cicero,  so that one cannot even be certain that they belonged to the same  family. Whatever the case, several Fulcinii are known from the first  century BC

The Fulcinii are known to have used the praenomina Gaius, Marcus, and Lucius, all of which were amongst the most common names throughout Roman history.

  • Gaius Fulcinius,  one of four ambassadors sent to Fidenae in 438 BC to inquire into the  reasons for the city's revolt against Rome. On the advice of Lars Tolumnius, the king of Veii,  whose cause the Fidenates had joined, the ambassadors were put to  death. Afterwards, the ambassadors were honoured with statues on the Rostra.
  • Marcus Fulcinius, a native of Tarquinii in Etruria, was a man of high respectability, who carried on a considerable banking business at Rome.
  • Marcus Fulcinius M. f., son of the banker, died young.
  • Marcus Fulcinius, a freedman of the banker Marcus Fulcinius
  • Gaius Fulcinius, father of Lucius.
  • Lucius Fulcinius C. f., brought the charge of murder against Marcus Saufeius in BC 52.
  • Lucius Fulcinius, whose name appears on Macedonian coins, had been quaestor, in an uncertain year

Gaius Fulcinius, Roman Ambassador

By the second half of the 5th century BC, the former Roman colony of Fidenae had revolted against Rome, and placed themselves under the protection of the wealthy Etruscan city-state of Veii. In 437, the Senate  responded by sending four ambassadors, including Gaius Fulcinius, to  the leaders of Fidenae. When Fulcinius and the rest arrived, they  demanded that Fidenae abandon its pact with Veii, and return the colony  to operating under Rome’s sphere of influence.[1]

According to Livy, the leaders of Fidenae sent an urgent message to Lars Tolumnius,  the king of Veii, asking what they should do. Lars Tolumnius, with an  eye to binding Fidenae closer to Veii, ordered them to execute Gaius  Fulcinius and his fellow ambassadors, which they proceeded to do. This  act saw Rome declare war on Veii, and they sent an army to besiege  Fidenae. To honour their sacrifice for the Republic, the Romans later  erected half-sized statues of Gaius Fulcinius and his colleagues Tullus Cloelius, Spurius Antius, and Lucius Roscius on the Rostra, in the Roman Forum.[2]

Cicero mentioned Gaius Fulcinius in his ninth Philippic, declaring that the reason Fulcinius was honoured was not that he died in bloodshed, but that he died for the Republic.[3] According to Cicero, his statue was no longer on the Rostra by the time he wrote his speech attacking Marc Antony (

Nomen is the middle part of the tria nomina. Nomen was the most  important element in the Roman naming system, because it was the  component of name that was inherited and also indicated the position of  the gens in the state, its antiquity and sometimes its origin. The  majority of nomina gentilicia come from names of tribes. 

Nomen is a required element when choosing male or famale name.
