The gens Hateria, occasionally Ateria, was a plebeian family at ancient Rome, known from the last century of the Republic and under the early Empire.
The most distinguished of the Haterii was Quintus Haterius, a senator and rhetorician in the time of Augustus and Tiberius.
[1] The praenomina associated with the early Haterii are Quintus, Sextus, and Decimus, the former two being among the more common names in Roman history, the last somewhat more distinctive, although it tended to run in families.
None of the Haterii of the Republic are mentioned with a surname, but Agrippa and Antoninus are found in Imperial times.
Valerius Maximus, who wrote during the age of Tiberius, relates an anecdote concerning a certain Haterius Rufus, but without sufficient information to guess when he lived.
