What makes a Roman name?

Ancient Roman names are grand and dignified — built from a given name (praenomen) and a family name (nomen or cognomen) like Marcus Aurelius, Gaius Cassius, or Livia Drusilla. Male names favor endings in -us; women often took a feminine form of the family name (Julia, Claudia). The vibe is marble, legions, and imperial authority — perfect for togas and toga-wearing intrigue.
