Calvisia gens
The ''gens Calvisia'' was a Roman family, which first rose to prominence during the final century of the Republic, and remained influential well into imperial times. The first of the ''gens'' to obtain the consulship was Gaius Calvisius Sabinus in 39 BC. During the later empire, the name ''Calvisius'' is sometimes found as a ''cognomen''.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕〔Suzanne Dixon, ''Childhood, Class and Kin in the Roman World'' (Routledge, 2001), p. 225 (online. )〕
==Origin of the gens==
The ''nomen Calvisius'' is probably based on the Latin adjective ''calvus'', meaning "bald". Both ''Calvus'' and ''Calvinus'' were common Roman surnames.〔〔D.P. Simpson, ''Cassell's Latin & English Dictionary'' (1963).〕
