Gallia (gens)


The gens Gallia was a plebeian family at Rome. Several members of this gens are mentioned during the first century BC.

Origin

The nomen Gallius might be derived from Gallus, a common surname that can refer either to a cock or someone of Gallic origin.

Praenomina

Among the Gallii we find the praenomina Quintus, Marcus, and Gaius, all of which were common throughout Roman history.

Branches and cognomina

The Gallii do not appear to have been divided into distinct families, and none of those known during the late Republic bore any surnames.
