The gens Tariolena was an obscure plebeian family of Roman times. No members of this gens appear in history, but several are known from inscriptions.
The nomen Tariolenus belongs to a class of gentilicia formed using the suffix -enus, regularly formed from other nomina, but occasionally from place-names. [1] Names of this class are frequently associated with families of Umbrian origin, but were also characteristic of Cisalpine Gaul, and particularly of Venetia and Histria, where the inscriptions of the Tarioleni are found.
