==History== '''Gens Aemilia''' was one of the most ancient Patrician Gens in [[:Category:Roma Antiqua|Roma Antiqua]]. Its origin is referred to the time of [[Kings of Rome|King Numa]], and it is said to have been descended from Mamercus, who received the name of Aemilius on account of the persuasiveness of his language. This Marmecus is represented by some as son of Pythagoras, and by others as son of '''Numa''', while a third account traces his origin to Ascanius, who had two sons, '''Iulius''' (founder of the '''Gens Iulia''') and '''Aemylos'''.[http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/index.html] The first [[Consul overview|Consul]] from the Gens Aemilia was Lucius Aemilius Mamercus, which was '''Consul''' for a total of three times, in the years of [[CCLXX]] [[AUC|a.u.c.]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/484_BC 484 BCE]), [[CCLXXVI]] [[AUC|a.u.c.]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/478_BC 478 BCE]) and [[CCLXXXI]] [[AUC|a.u.c.]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/473_BC 473 BCE]).[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_Consuls] ==''Cognomina''== The ''Cognomina'' used by the '''Gens Aemilia''' were *Barbula *Buca *Lepidus *Mamercus or Mamercinus *Papus *Paullus or Paulus *Regillus *Scaurus ==Prominent ''Aemilii''== Among the prominent ''Aemilii'' there are: *'''Lucius Aemilius Paullus''' *'''Marcus Aemilius Scaurus''' ==Gens Aemilia in Nova Roma== To see information about the Gens Aemilia in Nova Roma see [[Gens Aemilia (Nova Roma)]] [[Category:Gentes]]
