Everything about Junius Gens totally explained
Junius is the
nomen of the
gens Junia, an important and very ancient family of ancient
Rome, with both
Patrician and
Plebeian branches. Many notable members of the family bore the
cognomen Brutus.
The first Junius known to Roman tradition was
Lucius Junius Brutus, founder of the
Roman Republic.
Marcus Junius Brutus,
Caesar's assassin, was believed by contemporary Romans to have been the descendant of the founding Brutus.
In the early
Roman Empire, several notable Junii belonged to the patrician
Junii Silani branch. The Silani were in close contact with the
Julio-Claudian emperors and even related to the imperial family by blood, some being direct descendants of
Augustus.
Other branches were the
Bubulci,
Gracchani,
Norbani,
Paciaeci,
Penni,
Pera, and
Pulli.
In the historical drama
Rome,
Servilia of the Junii is a fictional character loosely based on
the mother of Brutus.
