Cornificia (gens)
The gens Cornificia was a plebeian family at Rome. No persons of this name occur until the last century of the Republic; and the first who obtained any of the higher honours of the state was Quintus Cornificius, praetor in 66 BC.
The Cornificii seem to have come originally from Rhegium. On coins the name is written Cornuficius, which is also the form used by Cassius Dio.
The only praenomina associated with the Cornificii are Quintus, Lucius, and Publius.
