Caius Largennius (died c. AD 50) was a legionary of the Legio II Augusta. He was born in Lucca and stationed in Argentoratum.[1][2] His funerary stele, discovered in 1878 in the Strasbourg district of Koenigshoffen, has been much studied and is well documented.[3] It is now kept in the Musée archéologique de Strasbourg.
