We define the gens as a group of families that descended or believed they descended from a common ancestor and that shared divinities, customs, and territory. In the case of the Scribonia, the curbstone, a profile that surrounds it to provide it with security, of the well (Puteal Escribonium or Scribonianum) is the iconographic motif most used in its coinage and alludes to its construction in the atrium of Minerva by Scribonius. , according to Festus.
