The gens Lemonia was an ancient but obscure family at Rome. Hardly any members of this gens are known, and the name might be entirely forgotten, were it not for the fact that the Lemonii gave their name to one of the Servian tribes. This dates the family to at least the middle of the sixth century BC, when they may have been major landholders in the region later known as the pagus Lemonius, but none of the Lemonii are known to have held any magistracies over the history of the Republic. A few Lemonii are known from inscriptions; a family of this name lived in Venetia and Histria. Members Lucius Lemonius, buried at Aquileia in Venetia and Histria. Lucius Lemonius T. f., built a tomb near Patavium in Venetia and Histria for a certain Pittiaca Primula. Quintus Lemonius Sex. f., named in an inscription from Julia Concordia in Venetia and Histria. Gaius Lemonius C. f. Mollo, buried at Patavium.
