Aburia
The gens Aburia was a plebeian family at Rome during the latter centuries of the Republic, and the 1st century of the Empire. The first member of this gens to achieve prominence was Marcus Aburius, praetor peregrinus in 176 BC.[1][2][3]
Praenomina
The Aburii are known to have used the praenomina Marcus, Gaius, and Decimus.[4]
Branches and cognomina
The earliest Aburii are found without a cognomen. Coins issued by this family bear the abbreviation Gem., probably for Geminus. In the 1st century, the surname Bassus is found.[5][6]
