The gens Caecinia was a plebeian family of Etruscan origin at ancient Rome.
A sepulchre belonging to the Caecinae has been discovered near Volaterrae; a beautiful sarcophagus, now in the Museum of Paris, was found inside.
The poet Caecina had a villa in the same neighbourhood, and families of the name have resided at modern Volterra until the present day.
[1] The chief praenomina of the Caecinae were Aulus, Gaius, and Lucius, all of which were common throughout Roman history.
The family was divided into several branches, and we accordingly find on the funeral urns the cognomina Caspu and Tlapuni; in Latin inscriptions we also meet with the surnames Quadratus and Placidus, and various others occur.
