The gens Icilia was a plebeian family at Rome. During the early Republic, the Icilii were distinguished by their unwavering support for the rights of the plebeians against the patrician aristocracy.[1] Branches and cognominaThe only surname of the early Icilii was Ruga, which properly belonged to many of the Icilii, but they are usually mentioned without a cognomen.[1] Members{{Filiation}}- Spurius Icilius, one of the plebeian envoys sent to negotiate with the Senate during the first secession of the plebeians, in 494 BC. He was elected tribune of the plebs for BC 493, plebeian aedile the following year, was probably tribune again in 481, and a third time in 470.{{efn-lr|Livy gives the Spurius Licinius as the name of the tribune of 481; but Spurius was not a regular praenomen of the Licinii. Dionysius gives Sicilius, which should apparently be read as S. Icilius.[2]}}[3][4][5]
