Menenia (gens) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Menenia (gens) The ''gens Menenia'' was a very ancient and illustrious patrician house at Rome from the earliest days of the Roman Republic to the first half of the 4th century BC. The first of the family to obtain the consulship was Agrippa Menenius Lanatus in 503 BC. The ''gens'' eventually drifted into obscurity, although its descendants were still living in the 1st century BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕 ==Origin of the gens== During the first secession of the plebs in 493 BC, Agrippa Menenius Lanatus, the former consul, was despatched by the Senate as an emissary to the plebeians, who were gathered on the ''Mons Sacer''. He said that he was sprung from the plebs, although he and several generations of his descendants held the consulship at a time when it was open only to the patricians. This suggests that the Menenii must have been made patricians, probably during the reign of one of the later Roman kings.〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'' ii. 32.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
