The gens Titania was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but a number are known from inscriptions.

Origin

The nomen Titanius is formed using the suffix -anius, usually indicating derivation from place names.^[1] The root of Titanius seems to be a cognomen, Titanus; Chase classifies the nomen among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else.^[2]

• Titania Barbara, dedicated a second-century tomb at Vicus Fificulanus in Samnium for her son, Titus Opsturius Benivolus, aged twenty-seven.
