Aquilia , or Aquillia ( Latin: Aquillii ) - an ancient Roman patrician and plebeian clan , supposedly of Etruscan origin, representatives of which begin to be mentioned in ancient written sources from the beginning of the 5th century BC. e. The nomenclature of these clans, apparently, indicates that their founder served in the royal army of Rome as a standard bearer (lat. Aquila ); probably, over time, this generic name was transformed by the end of the existence of the Republic into cognitive, that is - into a nickname [1] .
