Albus or Albinus is a Latin surname, or ''cognomen'', best known as the name of the main branch of the patrician gens Postumia. ''Albus, Albinus'', the original form of the name, means "foreign", "someone of other jurisdiction" unlike, ''Album, Albus'', which means "white". We also find in proper names in Latin, derivatives ending in ''-anus'', ''-enus'', and ''-inus'', used without any additional meaning, in the same sense as the simple forms.〔Comp. Niebuhr, ''Hist. of Rome'', i. n. 219〕 ==Notable Albini== :''For those persons belonging to the gens Postumia, see Postumia (gens).'' * Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, (died 43 B.C.), assassin of Julius Caesar * Lucceius Albinus, procurator of Judaea in the reign of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus, from A.D. 62 to 64, and governor of Mauretania from 64 to 69. * Albinus, a Platonic philosopher at Smyrna in the time of Galen. * Decimus Clodius Ceionius Septimius Albinus, usurper during the reign of Lucius Septimius Severus. * Juventinus Albius Ovidius, a Roman poet, probably of the late 2nd century, sometimes called ''Albus''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albinus (cognomen)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
