Quinctia was originlly a patrician, afterwards a plebian family. Its surname is Crispinus, with the agnomen of Sulpicianus added by adoption. - The brass are parts of the As, and pieces coined by the mint masters of Augustus, Morell gives twelve varieties. - There is a gold coin struck in Macedonia (valued by Mionnet at 800 francs) which exhibits on its obverse the bare head of a man, but without legend; on the reverse is T. QVINCTI, with the type of Victory holding a palm branch and a garland. - The portrait on the obverse is ascribed to Quinctius Flaminius, who gained a victory over Philip of Macedon. And a Macedonian shield, which appears below the Dioscuri on a denarius of the same family, is supposed to have reference to the same event.
