The system of gentes had completely broken down long before the 5th century A.D. and no person who lived in that period can legitimately said to be a member of any particular gens. Moreover, the name of this particular individual (Martianus Minneus Felix Capella) shows that if he can be said to have been a member of any gens at all it would have been the gens Minnea, not the gens Martiania.
