Tullia gens
The
gens Tullia was a family at
ancient Rome, with both
patrician and
plebeian branches. The first of this
gens to obtain the
consulship was
Manius Tullius Longus in 500 BC, but the most illustrious of the family was
Marcus Tullius Cicero, the statesman, orator, and scholar of the first century BC. The earliest of the Tullii who appear in history were patrician, but all of the Tullii mentioned in later times were plebeian, and some of them were descended from
freedmen. The English form ''Tully'', often found in older works, especially in reference to Cicero, is now considered antiquated.
