Antistia gens
The gens Antistia, sometimes written Antestia, was a plebeian family at Rome. The first of the gens to achieve prominence was Sextus Antistius, tribune of the people in 422 B.C.[1][2]
Praenomina used by the gens
The oldest families of the Antistii used the praenomina Sextus, Lucius, and Marcus. In the later Republic, members of the gens also used Publius, Titus, Gaius, and Quintus. The Antistii Veti used primarily Gaius and Lucius.
Branches and cognomina of the gens
In the earlier ages of the Republic, none of the members of the gens appear with any surname, and even in later times they are sometimes mentioned without one. The surnames under the Republic are Labeo, Reginus, and Vetus. The latter was the greatest family of the Antistii, and held several consulships from the time of Augustus to that of Antoninus Pius.[3]
