Duro'nia Gens
3. M.
Duronius, a Roman senator, who was ejected from the senate in B. C. 97 by the censors, M. Antonius, the orator, and L. Valerius Flaccus; for Duronius in his tribuneship (probably in the year B. C. 98) had abolished a
lex sumptuaria, and had used very frivolous and reckless expressions on that occasion.
In revenge he brought an accusation for
ambitus against the censor M. Antonius. (
V. Max. 2.9.5;
Cic. de Orat. 2.68; comp. 64.)
