The Servilia gens was one of the Alban houses brought to Rome by Tullius Hostilius (and moved to the [[Caelian Hill]]), and enrolled by him among the patricians (Livy i. 30.) It was, consequently, one of the minores gentes. Like other Roman gentes, the Servilii of course had their own sacra; and they are said to have worshiped a ''[[triens]]'', or copper coin, which is reported to have increased or dimi­nished in size at various times, thus indicating the increase or diminution of the honours of the gens (Pliny, Natural History xxxiv. 13. s. 38).

The Servilia gens was one of the Alban houses brought to Rome by Tullius Hostilius (and moved to the Caelian Hill), and enrolled by him among the patricians (Livy i. 30.) It was, consequently, one of the minores gentes. Like other Roman gentes, the Servilii of course had their own sacra; and they are said to have worshiped a triens, or copper coin, which is reported to have increased or dimi­nished in size at various times, thus indicating the increase or diminution of the honours of the gens (Pliny, Natural History xxxiv. 13. s. 38).

The Servilia gens was very celebrated during the early ages of the republic, and the names of few gentes appear more frequently at this period in the consular Fasti.
