Servilius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Servilius is the name of an illustrious Roman family. The most famous of the early Servilii was Gaius Servilius Ahala who was famous for saving Rome from tyranny by killing Spurius Maelius in 439 BCE.

In the later republic, the Servilii were an important force as the incomplete stemma below shows.
