This name always bugs me as i can never find much information about it. I read that one of the praetorians who finds Claudius after Caligulas assasination is named Gratus, as well as the prefect of judea prior to Pilate was another Gratus.
My question is what type of name is this? Is it a prenomen or a cognomen? or nomen? was it a name of higher classed citizens or more of a plebian name?
