Laelia gens

January 21, 2023

The gens Laelia was a plebeian family at Rome. The first of the gens to obtain the consulship was Gaius Laelius in 190 BC.[1]

Branches and cognomina

The only family name of the Laelii was Balbus, a common cognomen, referring to one who stammers. A few of the Laelii used personal surnames, such as Sapiens ("wise"), by which the Laelius who was a friend of the younger Scipio Africanus was sometimes known.[1][2][3]

Early Laelii

  • Gaius Laelius, grandfather of Gaius Laelius, consul in 190 BC.
  • Gaius Laelius C. f., the father of Gaius Laelius, consul in 190 BC.
  • Gaius Laelius C. f. C. n., consul in 190 BC, was a friend of the elder Scipio Africanus, to whom he acted as legate throughout the Second Punic War. After his consulship, he helped colonize the territory of the Boii. He was appointed to several other commissions and embassies through 170.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
  • Gaius Laelius C. f. C. n. Sapiens, consul in BC 140, and a close friend of the younger Scipio Africanus.

He was erudite and refined, but a less persuasive speaker than some of his contemporaries.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]
  • Laelia C. f. C. n. Major, married Quintus Mucius Scaevola, the augur. Laelia was renowned for her graceful and eloquent speech, dignified and sincere, upon which Cicero remarked, and which she passed down to her daughters, as well as her son-in-law, the orator Lucius Licinius Crassus.[20]
