I really love the roman female naming conventions. “We have the family name with a feminine ending or we have a number.”

It’s particularly strange since in the Early Republic, women had the three names (all with feminine endings) which were distinctive of Roman citizens, and then at some point it became normalized to be just two names (both with feminine endings).
Admittedly, families usually restricted themselves to a ridiculously small number of praenomina, the name which women ‘lost’, and praenomina themselves were extremely limited, but it’s still very odd.
