<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">Abstract:</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">The cognomen was the latest component to be introduced into the Roman
name system. For most of the republican period it was essentially the property of the senatorial aristocracy—that is to say, senatorial men. In this context the cognomen was normally a hereditary item, being transmitted from fathers to sons, or an additional
name of more personal nature, which was acquired at a ripe age (e.g. due to a military victory or a political office) (1). Most Roman women, regardless of rank, were throughout the Republic known by one name only, viz. their father’s nomen (or gentile name)
in the feminine form. To put it bluntly, women in the official sphere were, from an onomastic point of view, referred to as members of their<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>gens,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>but not as individuals,
at least not in the same sense as men.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">In the late republican period, however, the practice of using cognomina started to spread throughout the Roman society. These new cognomina were normally not hereditary but individual names given soon after birth. This
initiated an important historical process, during which the Roman onomastic system eventually developed from a situation, in which only a few citizens had a cognomen, to the point, in which practically everybody had one, Roman women included. For men this
meant that the initial, individualizing function of the praenomen shifted to the cognomen, which eventually lead to the diminishing of the praenomen. For women, however, the consequences were even more significant, since it was only through the advent of the
cognomen that all Roman women received a name that gave them a true individual identity in the public eye (2).</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">It is the purpose of my doctoral thesis to thoroughly discuss the female cognomen from a broad sociolinguistic and cultural historical perspective. The aim is, on the one hand, to discuss what kind of names Roman women
had and could have, and on the other, why and how such names could be chosen. These practices are observed through time and space, during a time period of c. 400 years (c. 100 BCE - 300 CE) and throughout the Roman Empire (with emphasis on the city of Rome
and the Italian peninsula), as well as in different layers of the society. The material for the study consists of written primary sources, mostly of epigraphic nature. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
