lateranus

Lătĕrānus, a, a family name in the gens Claudia, Sextia, and Plautia.—So, Plautius Lateranus, Tac. A. 15, 49; 60; Juv. 8, 148.—The splendid mansion of these Laterani on Mons Caelius (egregiae Lateranorum aedes, Juv. 10, 17; and:

Lateranae aedes,

Prud. adv. Symm. 1, 587) was given by the emperor Constantine to the bishop of Rome; afterwards the seat of the popes; now the Lateran.

Lătĕrānus, i, m. [later], the god of the hearth (because hearths were made of bricks), Arn. 4, 130.

gĕnĭus, i (voc. geni, Tib. 4, 5, 9 M. dub.), m. [root GEN, gigno; prop., the superior or divine nature which is innate in everything, the spiritual part, spirit; hence], the tutelar deity or genius of a person, place, etc. (cf.: lares, penates).
