The gens Minicia was a
plebeian family at
ancient Rome. Members of this
gens are first mentioned in the first century, achieving the
consulate under the emperor
Claudius. Owing to the similarity of their names, the Minicii are regularly confused with members of the ancient and far more prominent gens
Minucia.[1]
Minicius Acilianus, son of Minicius Macrinus and Acilia, is mentioned in the letters of Pliny the Younger. He was a little older than Pliny, and had been
quaestor,
tribune of the plebs, and
praetor.[9][10]
Minicius Opimianus, the son of Opimianus, consul in 123, was consul suffectus in AD 155.[14]
Minicius Opimianus, the grandson of Opimianus, the consul of 123, was consul suffectus in AD 186 or 187, and proconsul of Africa at some point between AD 198 and 209. He died in office.[16][14]
