en'nia Gens originally Samnite (Liv. 9.3; Appian, Samnit. 4.3), and by the Samnite invasion established in Campania (Liv. iv, 37, 7.38, 39.13), became at a later period a plebeian house at Rome. (Cic. Brut. 45, ad Att. 1.18, 19; Sall. Hist. ii. ap. Gell. 10.20; Liv. 23.43.) The Herennii were a family of rank in Italy. They were the hereditary patrons of the Marii. (Plut. Mar. 5.) Herennius was a leading senator of Nola in Campania (Liv. 23.43); and M. Herennius was decurio of Pompeii about B. C. 63. (Plin. Nat. 2.51.) From a coin (see below), from the cognomen Siculus (V. Max. 9.12.6), and the settlement of an Herennius at Leptis as a merchant (Cic. in Verr. 1.5, 5.59)), one branch at least of the family seems to have been engaged in commerce (Macr. 3.6 ; Serv. ad Aen. 8.363), especially in the Sicilian and African trade, and in the purchase and exportation of the silphium--ferula Tingitana -- (Sprengel, Rei Herbar. p. 84), from Cyrene.

(Plin. Nat. 19.3.) The Herennii appear for the first time in the Fasti, B. C. 93. Under the empire they held various provincial and military offices (J. AJ 18.16; Tac. Hist. 4.19; D. C. 67.13; Plin. Ep. 7.33); and the wife of the Emperor Decius (A. D. 249) was Herennia Etruscilla.

In the Herennian, as in other families of Sabellian origin, a peculiarity in the system of names is to be noted. To the family or paternal nam
