Roman Names
The Romans occupied most of Britain from the 1st to 5th century CE. Related names include Romano-British.
Naming conventions for roman women varied over time in the Roman Empire (and Republic). The simplest form is the forename (or praenomen) and a family name.
Other forms in addition to their forename are to use the name of their mother instead of or as well as the family name.
In addition there might be a differentiator to distinguish them from a sister or another family member with a similar name. These included "Maior", "Minor", "Tertia", "Quarta", "Quinta", "Sexta", "Secunda", "the Elder", and "the Younger
Most male Roman names by the 2nd century CE were a combination of three elements, the forename (or praenomen), the hereditary family name (or nomen) and a Nickname or other hereditary name (cognomen).
"Gaius Fulvius Saturninus" has format [praenomen] [nomen] [cognomen]
