The gens Tuscilia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Almost no members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but several are known from inscriptions.
The nomenTuscilius belongs to a class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina with the diminutive suffix -ulus.[1] The surname Tusculus referred to an inhabitant of Tusculum, an ancient city of Latium.[2]

Tuscilius Naso, named in a sepulchral inscription from Rome, dating from the middle of the first century BC.[3]
Tuscilia Creste, named along with Lucius Tuscilius Synistor in an inscription from Casilinum in Campania, dating from the latter half of the first century BC, or the early first century AD.[4]
Lucius Tuscilius Synistor, named along with Tuscilia Creste in an inscription from Casilinum, dating from the latter half of the first century BC, or the early first century AD.[4]

Tuscilius Nominatus, an advocate paid by the people of Vicetia to appear in the Roman senate to oppose the application of Sollers, an ex-praetor, to establish a market on his land in AD 105. The hearing was postponed, and when the matter resumed, Nominatus was absent. He later claimed to have abandoned the matter due to fear of reprisals. The senate concluded that his actions were wrong, but not fraudulent, and that he should refund the 2,500 denarii paid by the Vicentini to represent them in the matter. The emperor Trajan later granted the proceeds of Nominatus' estate to the people of Ricina in Picenum, to restore their streets and baths.[6][7][8]
Quintus Tuscilius L. f. Quintianus, a soldier in the eleventh urban cohort, buried at Vaga in Africa Proconsularis, aged twenty-three, in a tomb dating from the latter half of the second century, or the early part of the third.[9]
