In ancient Rome, "gens" (plural: "gentis") refers to a social group or clan that shares a common name and ancestry, often linked by blood relations. It typically encompasses multiple families (or "familiae") that trace their lineage to a common ancestor. The concept was significant in Roman society, as gens formed a crucial part of an individual's identity, influencing social status, political alliances, and legal rights.
