 Roman Naming Conventions in the Late Roman Republic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It tended to indicate ancient lineage, and citizens who had.just achieved aristocratic status were eager to acquire a cognomen to pass on to their children.
The last two names were written in the genitive case and followed by the word "servus." For example, “Afer Antonii Marci servus” would be the name of the slave Afer if he belonged to Marcus Antonius.
When a slave was sold to a new master, he took the nomen of his new master and tacked on the cognomen of his old master while adding an -anus suffix.

 Lives of the Twelve Ceasars: Augustus [Free Republic]
He begot Gnaeus and Gaius, from whom two branches of the Octavian fimaily were derived, of very different standing; for Gnaeus and all his scions in turn held the highest offices, but Gaius and his progeny, whether from chance or choice, remained in the equestrian order down to the father of Augustus.
Because Tedius Afer, consul elect, railed at some act of his in spiteful terms, he uttered such terrible threats that Afer committed suicide.
He himself writes, however, that Gallius made a treacherous attack on him after asking for an audience, and was haled to prison; and that after he was dismissed under sentence of banishment, he either lost his life by shipwreck or was waylaid by brigands.

There was a senator, Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, who had noticed that the roads during the reign of Tiberius were in bad condition, and was always nagging the highway commissioners about it, and furthermore kept making a nuisance of himself to the senate on the subject.
One of these men tried at this time, Domitius Afer, came near losing his life for an extraordinary reason, and was saved in a still more remarkable manner.
As for Domitius, he was chosen as the emperor's colleague, nominally by the people, but actually by Gaius himself.

 The Lives of the Caesars
But he withdrew the measure, since he could not cope with the united opposition of the optimates, seeing that they had at once dropped their attendance on the newly elected consuls and hastily gathered in throngs, resolved on an obstinate resistance.
Thereupon Caesar, especially incensed by this slight, by every possible attention courted the goodwill of Gnaeus Pompeius, who was at odds with the senate because of its tardiness in ratifying his acts after his victory over king Mithridates [in the Third Mithridatic War].
Gnaeus Pompeius used to declare that since Caesar's own means were not sufficient to complete the works which he had planned, nor to do all that he had led the people to expect on his return, he desired a state of general unrest and turmoil.

 suetonius
He obtained the quaestorship, and had two sons, Gnaeus and Gaius; from whom are descended the two branches of the Octavian family, which have had very different fortunes.
For Gnaeus, and his descendants in uninterrupted succession, held all the highest offices of the state; whilst Gaius and his posterity, whether from their circumstances or their choice, remained in the equestrian order until the father of Augustus.
The motive which gave rise to all these wars was the opinion he entertained that both his honour and interest were concerned in revenging the murder of his uncle, and maintaining the state of affairs he had established.

 NOVA ROMA ::: VIA ROMANA ::: Roman Names
Since many Roman men given the same praenomen it became the practical to refer to a citizen by their praenomen and nomen (given and family name); Gnaeus Cornelius would never simply be refered to as Gnaeus or Cornelius.
Since it was common for members of the same family to share identical names, the cognomen was often used to distinguish individuals: Gnaeus Cornelius Varro would be distinguished from his relative Gnaeus Cornelius Longinus by calling him Varro, by his cognomen, and his relation Longinus.
It has been as equally apparent in the records that some citizens have also had more than one cognomen; confered by their peers, for military triumphs or by some other deed, or indicating some link to an imperial or divine origin.
