Fonteia (gens)
The ''gens Fonteia'' was a plebeian family at Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned toward the end of the third century BC; Titus Fonteius was a legate of Publius Cornelius Scipio during the Second Punic War. The first of the Fonteii to obtain the consulship was Gaius Fonteius Capito, consul ''suffectus'' in 33 BC.〔Marcus Tullius Cicero, ''Pro Domo Sua'' 44.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin==
In his oration, ''Pro Fonteio'', Cicero mentions that the Fonteii came originally from Tusculum, of which municipium it was one of the most distinguished families. The Fonteii claimed descent from Fontus, the son of Janus. A two-faced head appears on a coin of the gens, which Vaillant and others suppose to be the head of Janus, in reference to this tradition. But as Janus is always represented in later times with a beard, Eckhel maintains that the two heads refer to the Dioscuri, who were worshipped at Tusculum with especial honours, and who may be regarded as the Di Penates of the gens. The heads of the Dioscuri occur on other coins of the Fonteia gens.〔〔Marcus Tullius Cicero, ''Pro Fonteio'' 14.〕〔Arnobius, ''Adversus Gentes'' iii. 29.〕〔Jean Foy-Vaillant, ''Numismata Imperatorum Romanorum'' (1674).〕〔Joseph Hilarius Eckhel, ''Doctrina Numorum Veterum'' vol. v. p. 214 ''ff''.〕
