Volu'mnia Gens

patrician and plebeian. It was of great antiquity, for the wife of Coriolanus belonged to it, and one of its members, P. Volumnius Gallus, held the consulship as early as B. C. 461, but it never attained much importance. The Volumnii bore the cognomens of GALLUS with the agnomen Amintinus, and of FLAMMA with the agnomen Violens. A few persons of the name are mentioned without any surname. [VOLUMNIUS.]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. 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.
