Decimia (gens)
The ''gens Decimia'' was a plebeian family at Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned towards the end of the third century BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin==
The Decimii appear to have been originally a Samnite family of Bovianum; at least, the first of the name belonged to that place, and the others who occur in history were probably his descendants, who after obtaining the Roman franchise settled at Rome. The name itself is a patronymic surname, formed from the praenomen Decimus. In this respect it may be regarded as a Latin name, although the ancestor of the family may himself have been of Samnite extraction. The Oscan equivalent of ''Decimus'' is ''Dekis'' or ''Decius''. It gave rise to the Roman gens Decia, which is thus a cognate of ''Decimius''.〔〔George Davis Chase, "The Origin of Roman Praenomina", in ''Harvard Studies in Classical Philology'', vol. VIII (1897).〕
