Teia gens
The gens Teia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens appear in history, but a number are known from inscriptions. Praenomina
The Teii used a variety of common praenomina, including Gaius, Lucius, Publius, Quintus, and Sextus. There are also two examples of the old praenomen Spurius, which had become scarce by imperial times, and one of the feminine praenomen Maxima. Members
