L. Sempronius Pitio was one of the moneyers for the year 148 BC. He is not otherwise known.
Gens Sempronia was a Roman family of great antiquity, which included both patrician and plebeian branches.
The first of the Sempronii to obtain the consulship was Aulus Sempronius Atratinus, in 497 BC, the twelfth year of the Republic.
The patrician Sempronii frequently obtained the highest offices of the state in the early centuries of the Republic, but they were eclipsed by the plebeian families of the gens at the end of the fourth century BC.
