Maecilia Gens
2. SP. MAECILIUS, chosen for the fourth time tribune of the plebs, B. C. 416. (Liv. 4.48.)
In the time of Augustus we find the name of M. Maecilius Tullus, a triumvir of the mint, on many coins (Eckhel, vol. v. p. 240); and at length not long before the downfall of the Roman empire in the west a Maecilius obtained the imperial dignity. [AVITUS, MAECILIUS.]
