Gens Cassia

The gens Cassia, nomen Cassius, was one of the oldest families of ancient Rome.

The road Via Cassia that went to Arretium was built by the family. The Italian village Cassano Irpino traditionally derives its name from the gens Cassia.


A modern "Gens Cassia" is the "founding gens" of the reenactment group (or micronation) Nova Roma; see genscassia.org.
