The gens Scutaria was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens are mentioned in history, but others are known from inscriptions.[1]
The nomenScutarius belongs to a class of gentilicia derived from occupations; a scutarius was a shield-maker.[2][3] The family seems to have come from Venusia in Apulia, originally a Samnite town, captured during the Third Samnite War. A Roman colony was established there in 291 BC.[4]
Praenominaedit
The only praenomina found in the inscriptions of the Scutarii are Lucius and Sextus, both of which were common throughout all periods of Roman history.
