Ollia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gens Ollia was a minor plebeian family at Rome. Few members of this gens achieved any prominence, and the best-known may have been Titus Ollius, the father of the empress Poppaea Sabina. Other Ollii are known from inscriptions.[1]

Origin

[edit]

The nomen Ollius is probably another orthography of Aulius, a patronymic surname derived from the common praenomen Aulus.[2]
