Icilia Gens
plebeian, distinguished in the early history of the republic for its resistance to the patricians, and its support of the liberties of the plebeians. Many members of the gens bore the surname of RUGA, but as they are more frequently mentioned without than with this cognomen, they are all given under ICILIUS.
