Plautia (gens)

The gens Plautia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome.

The gens Plautia was a plebeian gens that probably came from Privernum. The first member of the gens Plautia to reach consular rank was Gaius Plautius Proculus, who became consul in 358 BCE and was magister equitum to the first plebeian dictator Gaius Marcius Rutilus. A branch of the family was made patrician by Emperor Claudius.

The principal name used by the Gens Plautia in the times of the Roman Republic was Gaius. Marcus was the primary name in the Silvanus branch, while Aulus was the primary name in the Lateranus branch, who both flourished during the early Imperial period.
