Comments

The gens Acilia was a plebeian Roman family which flourished from the middle of the third century BC until at least the fifth century. The first member of the gens to achieve prominence was Gaius Acilius Glabrio, who was quaestor in 203 and tribune of the plebs in 197 BC.

Valetudo is the Roman equivalent of the greek goddess of health Hygieia.
