Decia (gens)
The ''gens Decia'' was a plebeian family of high antiquity, which became illustrious in Roman history by two of its members sacrificing themselves for the preservation of their country. The first of the family known to history was Marcus Decius, chosen as a representative of the plebeians during the secession of 495 BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin==
''Decius'' is the Latin form of the Oscan praenomen ''Dekis'', or its ''gentile'' equivalent, ''Dekiis''. The praenomen itself is the Oscan equivalent of the Latin name Decimus, and thus the nomen ''Decius'' is cognate with the Latin ''Decimius''. From this it may be supposed that the Decii were of Oscan extraction, perhaps arising from the Sabine portion of Rome's original inhabitants. In any event, they were already at Rome in the earliest years of the Republic, as one of them was chosen to represent the plebeians during the first secession in 495 BC.〔George Davis Chase, "The Origin of Roman Praenomina", in ''Harvard Studies in Classical Philology'', vol. VIII (1897).〕
