Mamilia (gens)
The ''gens Mamilia'' was a plebeian family at Rome during the period of the Republic. The ''gens'' was originally one of the most distinguished families of Tusculum, and indeed in the whole of Latium. It is first mentioned in the time of the Tarquins; and it was to a member of this family, Octavius Mamilius, that Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the seventh and last King of Rome, betrothed his daughter. The gens obtained Roman citizenship in the 5th century BC, and some of its members must subsequently have settled at Rome, where Lucius Mamilius Vitulus became the first of the family to hold the consulship in 265 BC, the year before the First Punic War.〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'', i. 49, iii. 29.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕
==Origin of the gens==
The Mamilii traced their ''nomen'' and origin to the mythical Mamilia, the daughter of Telegonus, who was regarded as the legendary founder of Tusculum and the son of Ulysses and the goddess Circe. This origin was referred to on a coin of the gens, the obverse of which depicts the head of Mercury or Hermes, the ancestor of Ulysses, and the reverse Ulysses himself, clad in the humble disguise he assumed to avoid being recognized by the suitors of Penelope.〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'', i. 49.〕〔Joseph Hilarius Eckhel, ''Doctrina Numorum Veterum'', vol. v. pp. 242, 243.〕
