Ummidia (gens)
The ''gens Ummidia'' was a Roman family which flourished during the 1st and 2nd centuries. The first member of the ''gens'' to achieve prominence was Gaius Ummidius Durmius Quadratus, governor of Syria during the reigns of Claudius and Nero. The Ummidii held several consulships in the 2nd century, and were related by marriage to the emperor Marcus Aurelius.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕〔Anthony Birley, ''Marcus Aurelius'' (1966).〕
==Origin of the gens==
The Ummidii were a minor family, apparently not of any great antiquity, and was not familiar to contemporary writers. The ''nomen Ummidius'' is given in various forms by different authors. Josephus writes it as ''Numidius'', while in different editions of Tacitus, Plinius, and the authors of the ''Historia Augusta'', it is written as ''Numidius, Vindius'', and ''Ummidius''. The latter occurs in some of the best manuscripts, and in inscriptions. The name is mentioned by the poet Horatius, where again different manuscripts give it variously, but it appears that the original reading was ''Ummidius''.〔〔Quintus Horatius Flaccus, ''Satirae'', i. 1. 95.〕
The family probably came from the town of Casinum, in Campania, where an inscription mentions Ummidia Quadratilla, who funded the building of an amphitheater and a temple for the townspeople. In this case, the Ummidii may have been of Volscian origin, although the antiquarian Varro believed the inhabitants of Casinum to be Samnite.〔Johann Caspar von Orelli, ''Inscriptionum Latinarum Selectarum Collectio'' no. 781.〕〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'', eleventh edition (1911), ''s. v. Casinum''.〕
