The gens Sertoria was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens appear in history. The most illustrious of the family was the Roman general Quintus Sertorius, who defied the dictator Sulla and his allies for a decade after the populares were driven from power in Rome.[1] OriginThe general Sertorius was born at Nursia, in Sabinium, where his family had lived for several generations. The name of the gens is a patronymic surname, based on the praenomen Sertor, which was considered archaic at Rome by the first century BC. It may have meant, "one who protects" or "preserves".[2][3] PraenominaThe Sertorii used a variety of common praenomina, including Gaius, Gnaeus, Lucius, Publius, Quintus, and Titus. Branches and cognominaThe Sertorii of the Republic were not divided into distinct families. In imperial times there was a family bearing the cognomen Brocchus, originally referring to someone with prominent teeth.[4][5] Members{{Filiation}}- Quintus Sertorius, a celebrated general in the last decades of the Republic.
