Revision as of 18:23, 3 September 2007 by Aldus Marius Peregrinus (Talk | contribs)
The system of gentes had completely broken down long before the 5th century A.D. and no person who lived in that period can legitimately said to be a member of any particular gens. Moreover, the name of this particular individual (Martianus Minneus Felix Capella) shows that if he can be said to have been a member of any gens at all it would have been the gens Minnea, not the gens Martiania.

- And anyway, wouldn't it have been gens Martianus rather than gens Martianius? -- Marius Peregrinus 20:22, 3 September 2007 (CEST)
