Publicia gens information


Denarius of Gaius Publicius, 80 BC. The obverse depicts a head of Roma, while on the reverse Hercules is strangling the Nemean lion, perhaps an allusion to the famous Temple of Hercules at Cora.

The gens Publicia (Pūblicia),[1] occasionally found as Poblicia or Poplicia, was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in history during the period following the First Punic War, and the only one to achieve the consulship was Marcus Publicius Malleolus in 232 BC.[2]
