Servilier

The Servilii (Latin gens Servilia or Servilii ) were one of the oldest Roman patrician families , allegedly from Alba Longa had moved to Rome. Since the year 495 BC The gens Servilia belonged to the consular families. In the early republic there were the branches of the Servilii Ahalae and Servilii Fidenates . The branches of the Prisci or Structi that can be derived from the cognomina of the ancestor Publius Servilius Priscus Structus cannot be proven. After the year 412 BC The Servilians do not appear in the Fasti for a long time .

Since the first Punic War , the Servilii presented with the patrician branch of Caepiones (which differ from the Ahalae herleiteten) and the original patrician, then because of the conversion to the plebs, probably tribune will be able to, plebeian branch of Gemini again numerous magistrates. In addition, the lines of the Vatiae - later known as Isaurici - and the plebeian Rulli developed .

The most common first names in the gens Servilia were Gaius, Gnaeus, Marcus, Publius and Quintus.
