Thegens Pomptina was a minorplebeian family atancient Rome. Thegens is best known fromGaius Pomptinus,praetor in 63 BC, who helped suppress theconspiracy of Catiline, and later defeated theAllobroges. Few of the Pomptini appear in history, but others are known from inscriptions.^[1]

ThenomenPomptinus seems to be derived from the region of thePomptine Marshes, in southeasternLatium. This area was brought under Roman control following the defeat of theVolscians in 358 BC, and thetribus Pomptina organized. The Pomptini might be of eitherLatin or Volscian origin. In different sources, the nomen can be found asPomptinius,Pontinius, andPomtinus.^[1]
