Denarius of Lucius Trebanius. This side is the reverse, depicting Jupiter driving a quadriga, with the inscriptions "L. Treban." and "Roma". The obverse features a head of Pallas, or perhaps Roma.
The gens Trebania or Trebana was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Only a few members of this gens are known, chiefly from inscriptions.[1]
Origin
The nomenTrebanius belongs to a class of gentilicia formed from cognomina ending in -as and -atis, usually derived from place names, or ending in -atus. Trebanius appears to be derived from the city of Treba in Sabinum, near the border with Latium.[2] The similarly-named Trebatia gens likely derives its nomen from the same root.
Members
Lucius Trebanius, triumvir monetalis at some point between about 135 and 126 BC. His coins feature a head of Pallas on the obverse, while the reverse depicts Jupiter driving a quadriga.[3][1][4]
Gaius Trebanius Rufus, named in a bronze inscription from Neapolis in Campania.[5]
