The gens Luciena was a minor family at Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the final century of the Republic.

Origin

The nomen Lucienus appears to belong to a class of names derived from other names, including those of other gentilicia. It might therefore be derived from the praenomen Lucius, or the corresponding nomen.[1] Nomina ending in -enus were characteristic of Umbrian.[2]

Members

This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
