The gens Maecilia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Although of great antiquity, only two members of this gens are mentioned in republican times, both tribunes of the plebs in the first century of the Republic. The Maecilii appear again, somewhat sporadically, in imperial times, even obtaining the consulship during the early fourth century. One of the last emperors of the Western Empire was Marcus Maecilius Avitus.[1] Members- Lucius Maecilius, tribune of the plebs in 470 BC.[2][3]
- Spurius Maecilius, tribune of the plebs at least four times, the fourth occasion in 416 BC.[4][5]
- Marcus Maecillius Tullus, triumvir monetalis in the time of Augustus.[6]
- Lucius Maecilius Scrupus, among the Veientes present at the appointment of a magistrate named Gaius Julius Gelos in AD 26, recorded on an inscription at Veii.[7][8]
- Marcus Maecilius Rufus, governor of Achaea some time before AD 67.[9][10]
- Maecilius Fuscus, governor of Britannia Inferior around AD 240. He helped rebuild and expand a fort at what is now Durham.
- Maecilius Hilarianus, consul in AD 332, and praefectus urbi from AD 338 to 339.
- Marcus Maecilius Flavius Eparchius Avitus, emperor from AD 455 to 456.[11][12][13][14]
