Gegania (gens)
The ''gens Gegania'' was a very ancient patrician family at Rome, which was prominent from the earliest period of the Republic to the decades before the First Samnite War. The first of the gens to obtain the consulship was Titus Geganius Macerinus in 492 BC. The gens drifted into obscurity in the first half of the fourth century BC, and does not appear again in history till the year 100 BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin==
The Geganii traced their origin to the mythical Gyas, one of the companions of Aeneas. According to both Livius and Dionysius, the Geganii were one of the most distinguished Alban houses, transplanted to Rome on the destruction of Alba Longa by Tullus Hostilius, and enthroned among the Roman ''patres''. The name, however, occurs even in the reign of Numa Pompilius, who is said to have chosen Gegania as one of the Vestal Virgins. Another Gegania is mentioned as the wife of Servius Tullius, or of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus; and a third Gegania occurs in the reign of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus.〔Servius, ''ad Virg. Aen.'' v. 117.〕〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'' i. 30.〕〔Dionysius of Halicarnassus, ''Romaike Archaiologia'' iii. 29, iv. 7.〕〔Plutarchus, ''Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans'' ''Numa'' 10, ''de Fort. Rom.'' p. 323, ''Comp. Lyc. c. Num.'' 3.〕
