The gens Milonia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. The first member of this gens mentioned in history was Gaius Milonius, a Roman senator, and one of Cinna's allies. The empress Milonia Caesonia was presumably descended from this family. A few Milonii are known from inscriptions.
This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
Gaius Milonius, a senator, and one of the allies of the consul Cinna, when the latter was expelled from Rome by his colleague, Gnaeus Octavius, in 87 BC. Milonius was probably one of the tribunes of the plebs that year. Cinna, Marius, and Milonius returned with an army, but Milonius was slain in the fighting at the Janiculum.[1][2][3][4]
Milonius, a person mentioned in one of Horace's Satires as dancing and joking in a state of drunken revelry.[5]
Milonia Apollonia, the wife of Ollius Nicadas, who built a family sepulchre at Rome, dating to the first half of the first century.[6]
