Lana'tus

the name of a family of the Menenia gens, which was of great distinction in the earliest ages of the republic. Livy (2.332), speaking of Agrippa Menenius Lanatus [see below, No. 1], says that he was sprung from the plebs; but as this Agrippa had been consul, and this dignity was not yet open to the plebeians, it is certain that he must have been a patrician , and, consequently, if the statement of Livy is correct, the Lanati must have been made patricians, probably during the reign of one of the later Roman kings.

In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
