The gens Calidia or Callidia was a Roman family during the final century of the Republic. The first of the gens to achieve prominence was Quintus Calidius, tribune of the plebs in 99 and praetor in 79 B.C.[1] Origin of the gensThe nomen Calidius is probably derived from the Latin adjective calidus, which may be translated as "warm, hot, fiery," or "passionate".[2] Praenomina used by the gensThe earlier Calidii are known to have used the praenomina Quintus, Gnaeus, and Marcus. Under the Empire the names Publius and Titus are also found.[1][3] Branches and cognomina of the gensThe Calidii of the Republic are not known to have been divided into families. In imperial times, a family of this gens bore the surname Severus.[3] Members of the gensThis list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
