The gens Salviena was an obscure
plebeian family at
ancient Rome. No members of this
gens appear in history, but several are known from inscriptions.
Origin
The
nomenSalvienus belongs to a class of gentilicia formed using the suffix -enus, a type associated with names of
Picentine or
Umbrian origin, with roots ending in -i. Salvienus is a patronymic surname derived from the
praenomenSalvius, common in the
Oscan and
Umbrian-speaking parts of Italy.[1] Several early inscriptions place the Salvieni in
Sabinum.
