The gens Carpinatia was a Roman family towards the end of the Republic. It is best known from a single individual, Lucius Carpinatius, one of the publicani in Sicily during the government of Verres, with whom he was very intimate. Cicero describes him as pro-magister, or deputy manager of the publicani, and calls him a second Timarchides, referring to one of the chief agents of Verres in his robberies and oppressions.Marcus Tullius Cicero, In Verrem, 70, 76, iii. 71.Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, William Smith, Editor.
