Laetoria (gens) The gens Laetoria was a plebeian family at ancient Rome . Its members appear regularly throughout the history of the Republic . None of the Laetorii ever obtained the consulship , but several achieved lesser offices of the Roman state .Praenomina The only praenomina found among the Laetorii mentioned by the ancient historians are Marcus , Gaius , and Lucius , the three most common names at all periods of Roman history . Some sources mention a Gnaeus Laetorius, but in other sources his praenomen is Gaius .Branches and cognomina The Laetorii of the Republic do not appear to have been divided into families, and the only surnames found are Mergus , a seagull, and Plancianus , apparently derived from the nomen of the Plancia gens , and perhaps indicating that the bearer was a descendant of that family, who was adopted by one of the Laetorii.Members Marcus Laetorius, a centurion primi pili , described in history as the first plebeian magistrate , in 495 BC , the year before the first secession of the plebs . Chosen to establish a collegium mercatorum , dedicate the Temple of Mercury , and superintend the corn market, he was probably plebeian aedile , although according to tradition this office was established along with that of tribune of the plebs , in order to negotiate an end to the secession. Some scholars have argued that he dedicated the Temple of Mercury as one of the Decemviri Sacris Faciundis . Gaius Laetorius, tribune of the plebs in BC 471, the year in which the lex Publilia passed the election of the tribunes to the comitia tributa , freeing the office from the direct influence of the patricians . The success of the rogation was due in no small part to the courage and energy of Laetorius.
