Sestia (gens) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sestia (gens)
The ''gens Sestia'' was a family at Rome. The ''gens'' was originally patrician, but in later times there were also plebeian members. The only member of the family to obtain the consulship under the Republic was Publius Sestius Capitolinus Vaticanus, in 452 BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕 ==Origin of the gens== The ''nomen Sestius'' is frequently confounded with that of ''Sextius'', and the two names may originally have been the same; but the ancient writers evidently regarded them as two distinct names. If they are in fact two forms of the same name, then ''Sestius'' is probably a patronymic surname, based on the common ''praenomen Sextus'', meaning "sixth." The same name gave rise to the plebeian ''gens Sextilia''.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
