Caesia (gens) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Caesia (gens) The ''gens Caesia'' was a plebeian family at Rome during the late Republic, and through imperial times. The first member of the ''gens'' to achieve prominence was Marcus Caesius, praetor in 75 BC. Under the Empire, the gens was distinguished for its literary achievements.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕 ==Origin of the gens== The ''nomen'' of the Caesii may be derived from the Latin adjective ''caesius'', meaning a light blue or blue-grey color, typically used to refer to the color of a person's eyes. The same root may have given rise to the ''praenomen Caeso'', and perhaps also to the ''cognomen Caesar''.〔〔D.P. Simpson, ''Cassell's Latin & English Dictionary'' (1963).〕
