Historical background
FANNIA
(123 BC)
The Fannia gens is a plebeian family from Rome. A Caius Fannius was tribune of the plebs in 187 BC and one of his namesake consul in 122 BC Marcus Fannius is the only member of the gens Fannia to have coined money. He can in no way be the son of the first. It could be that he is the son of the second, the consul, which would imply that a Marcus Fannius is inserted between the "Caius Fannius". This last hypothesis would then justify the use of the prænomen Marcus by our monetary.
