Eppia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Eppia was a minor plebeian family at Ancient Rome. It is known chiefly as a result of Marcus Eppius, a Roman senator, and partisan of Pompeius during the Civil War. He served as legate under Quintus Metellus Scipio, and later under Sextus Pompeius.[1]
