(In C. and Cn., the use of the letter C to represent the sound G shows an archaic use of the letter's original pronunciation.) Certain praenomens were maintained only among particular patrician families: App.=Appius, Ser.=Servius. The names of the kings (apart from Romulus) all have the appearance of a regular Roman name, but their praenomens are often not among the normal ones of the later period: Numa, Tullus, Ancus. The attested nomen Tullius seems to be derived from a praenomen Tullus just as the nomen Marcius is derived from the praenomen Marcus, which suggests that there had been a praenomen Tullus, even though no such praenomen is attested in historical period. This peculiarity of praenomens perhaps lends credibility at least to the names of the kings: if the names had been made up, more regular ones would have been chosen. iH dX

1)本名 !QqVJ a{j

Praenomen系指某人的本名。罗马人所用的本名一***不到30个，只有10个左右是常用的，通常都是缩写的： '7@Dw;

·A.=Aulus 奥路斯 FELW?Q?k

·C.=Gaius 盖乌斯 mkgL/h*

·Cn.=Gnaeus 格涅乌斯 !:_krLB<

·D.=Decimus 德西穆斯 :X1Y

·L.=Lucius 路西乌斯 u)D!RhV&

·M.=Marcus 玛尔库斯 n*~#]%4

·P.=Publius 普布利乌斯 nF 'U*

·Q.=Quintus 克温图斯 Hjy4tA7,l

·T.=Titus 提图斯 /DSy/p0%

·Ti.=Tiberius 提贝里乌斯 s6oIj$

在盖乌斯和格涅乌斯的例子中，字母“C”使用的是G的发音，这表明了这个字母的某种原始发音。某些本名仅仅在特定的氏族贵族家族中保留使用，例如App.=阿皮乌斯， Ser.=塞尔维乌斯等。除罗慕路斯之外的早期国王们都有着一个常见的罗马名字，可他们的本名都不属晚期常见的名字：努玛、图路斯、安库斯。正如氏族名Marcius源自本名Marcus一样，氏族名图利乌斯(Tullius)源自本名Tullus, 这似乎暗示有这么一个本名Tullus，虽然在历史上并没有记录有叫这个本名的人。这种奇怪的现象可能使得诸国王的本名更为可信：如果这些名字是臆造的，那也应该选一些更常见的名字。 tkHUX!Ow;

2) Nomen ;FjI!V

The second element, the nomen, was in origin the name of a man's gens or clan. Everyone of freeborn origin supposedly originally went back to some common ancestor, though foreigners made citizens and freed slaves adopted regular Roman names. Native Roman nomens regularly end in -ius: (Julius, Tullius, Sempronius, Quinctilius), though by the late Republic one encounters other endings (esp. those of Etruscan origin). 9:Z|Z?>?

2）氏族名 N)YoWA>#bF

第二个部分，氏族名源自该男子所属的(父系)氏族或家族。尽管归化为罗马公民的异邦人或是获释奴也会采用一个常见的罗马名字，凡是生而自由的人们都认为可被追溯到某个***同的祖先。罗马原有的氏族名一般会以”-ius”结尾：Julius, Tullius, Sempronius, Quinctilius(优利乌斯、图利乌斯、显普洛尼乌斯、昆克提利乌斯)，但到***和晚期时人们会遇到以其它音结尾的名字(特别是那些源自伊特鲁斯坎的名字)。 Uetna!ABB
