Back Gens Sepullia Latin

Sepullia gens

Denarius of Publius Sepullius Macer, 44 BC, with the head of Julius Caesar on the obverse and Venus on the reverse. The legend on the obverse refers to Caesar's title of Dictator perpetuo.[1]

The gens Sepullia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Hardly any members of this gens are mentioned in ancient writers, of whom the most famous was Sepullius Bassus, a rhetorician known to Seneca the Elder.[2]
