Tullius
Tullius (female form Tullia ; plural Tullii ) was the noun of the patrician gens Tullia in the Roman Empire . It is derived from an early extinct prenomen Tullus (compare the name of the king Tullus Hostilius ). The Italian first name Tullio is derived from Tullius .
The first known bearer of the name is the Roman king Servius Tullius , not much later, after the overthrow of the kingship, a Manius Tullius Longus appears as one of the first consuls (500 BC) in the fasts . In the centuries that followed, the Tullii rarely appear in the sources we have received. In the late republic, the Cicerones family, with their famous member Marcus Tullius Cicero, was ennobled, and at this time both Cicero-related and unrelated Tullii appear again in the sources. The Tullii Cicerones do not descend directly from the early Tullii .
