Aquillia (gens) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aquillia (gens)
The ''gens Aquillia'' or ''Aquilia'' was a family at Rome with both patrician and plebeian branches. This gens was of great antiquity. Two of the Aquillii are mentioned among the Roman nobles who conspired to bring back the Tarquins, and a member of the house, Gaius Aquillius Tuscus, is mentioned as consul as early as 487 BC.〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'' ii. 4.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕 ==Origin== The nomen ''Aquilius'' or ''Aquillius'' is probably derived from ''aquila'', an eagle. On coins and inscriptions the name is almost always written ''Aquillius'', but in manuscripts generally with a single ''l''. The oldest branch of the family bore the cognomen ''Tuscus'', suggesting that the ''gens'' may have been of Etruscan origin, although the nomen of the gens is indisputably Latin, and the name ''Tuscus'' could have been acquired in other ways.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
