Rupilia gens

The gens Rupilia, occasionally written Rupillia, was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the latter part of the Republic, and Publius Rupilius obtained the consulship in 132 BC. Few others achieved any prominence, but the name occurs once or twice in the consular fasti under the Empire. The name is frequently confounded with the similar Rutilius.[1][2]

Praenomina

The main praenomina of the Rupilii were Publius and Lucius, two of the most common names throughout Roman history.

Branches and cognomina

None of the Rupilii bore cognomina under the Republic, but as with other plebeian families most of them had individual surnames in imperial times.[1]

Members

This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
