DOMITIA GENS, plebeian, the members of which towards the end of the republic were looked upon as belonging to one of the most illustrious gentes. (Cic. Phil. ii. 29 ; Plin. H. N. vii. 57 ; Val. Max. vi. 2. § 8.) During the time of the republic, we meet with only two branches of this gens, the Ahenobarbi and Calvini, and, with the exception of a few unknown personages mentioned in isolated passages of Cicero, there is none without a cognomen.
