Iallia gens
P Aculeius: Article on the Iallii.
The '''gens Iallia''' was an obscure [[plebs|plebeian]] family at [[ancient Rome]]. Members of this [[gens]] are not mentioned in ancient writers, but they rose to prominence during the middle part of the second century, with two of them achieving the [[Roman consul|consulship]] under [[Antoninus Pius]].
==Praenomina==
All of the Iallii known from inscriptions lived in imperial times, and few are mentioned with [[praenomen|praenomina]]. The main praenomen of this gens seems to have been ''[[Marcus (praenomen)|Marcus]]'', although there is also an instance of ''[[Quintus (praenomen)|Quintus]]''. Both of these were among the most common names throughout Roman history.
==Branches and cognomina==
The only regular [[cognomen]] of the Iallia gens was ''Bassus'', which belonged to the senatorial family. This was a common surname, originally referring to someone who might be described as "stout" or "sturdy", and was one of a large class of cognomina derived from a person's physical features.<ref>Chase, pp. 109, 110.</ref> This family came to Rome from [[Alba Helviorum]], perhaps indicating that they were of [[Gauls|Gallic]] origin.<ref name="CIL 12 2681"/><ref name="CIL 12 2718 2719"/>
