Curiatia (gens)
The ''gens Curiatia'' was a distinguished family at Rome, with both patrician and plebeian branches. Members of this gens are mentioned in connection with the reign of Tullus Hostilius, the third King of Rome, during the seventh century BC. The first of the Curiatii to attain any significant office was Publius Curiatius Fistus, surnamed ''Trigeminus'', who held the consulship in 453 BC. The gens continued to exist throughout the Republic, and perhaps into imperial times, but seldom did its members achieve any prominence.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin==
The existence of a patrician gens of this name is attested by Livius, who expressly mentions the Curiatii among the noble Alban gentes, which, after the destruction of Alba, were transplanted to Rome, and there received among the ''Patres''. This opinion is not contradicted by the fact that in BC 401 and 138 we meet with Curiatii who were tribunes of the people and consequently plebeians, for this phenomenon may be accounted for here, as in other cases, by the supposition that the plebeian Curiatii were the descendants of freedmen of the patrician Curiatii, or that some members of the patrician gens had gone over to the plebeians.
The Alban origin of the Curiatii is also stated in the story about the three Curiatii who, in the reign of Tullus Hostilius, fought with the three Roman brothers, the Horatii, and were conquered by the cunning and bravery of one of the Horatii, though some writers described the Curiatii as Romans and the Horatii as Albans.〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'', i. 24 ''ff''.〕〔Dionysius of Halicarnassus, ''Romaike Archaiologia'', iii. 11 ''ff''.〕〔Plutarchus, ''Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans'', 16.〕〔Florus, ''Epitome de T. Livio Bellorum Omnium Annorum DCC libri duo'', i. 3.〕〔Sextus Aurelius Victor, ''De Viris Illustribus'', 4.〕〔Joannes Zonaras, ''Epitome Historiarum'', 6.〕〔Barthold Georg Niebuhr, ''History of Rome'', i. p. 348.〕〔
