Gens Aquillia

Gens Aquillia

The gens Aquillia was an ancient Roman family both patrician and plebeian. On coins and inscriptions the name is almost always written "Aquillius", but in manuscripts generally with a single "l". This gens was of great antiquity. Two of the Aquillii are mentioned among the Roman nobles who conspired to bring back the Tarquins after their expulsion in 509 BC;rf|1|liv_2.4 and a member of the house, Caius Aquillius Tuscus, is mentioned as consul as early as 487 BC, the first of a long series. The cognomens of the Aquillii under the republic are Corvus, Crassus, Florus, Gallus, Tuscus.
