Stertinia gens

The gens Stertinia was a plebeian family of ancient Rome.

It first rose to prominence at the time of the Second Punic War, and although none of its members attained the consulship in the time of the Republic, a number of Stertinii were so honoured in the course of the first two centuries of the Empire.

There are also instances of Quintus and Publius, which likewise were very common names.

Along the Via Labicana is the Columbarium of the Stertinii, a tomb discovered in 1912, containing various Stertinii, and members of their household, including freedmen and their wives.

[2] The tomb had a capacity of at least one hundred and sixty niche burials, organized in a grid, each containing a cinerary urn.

A marble monument dedicated to Sol Invictus by Marcus Aurelius Stertinius, procurator of the camp, and two of his brothers-in-arms. Probably third century; from the collection of the Walters Art Museum .
