What is "acilia"

The gens Acilia was a Roman family, or gens, that flourished from the middle of the third century BC until at least the fifth century AD, a period of seven hundred years. It was probably of plebeian origin, and the first two branches, or stirpes to appear were certainly plebeian. The first member of the gens to achieve prominence was Gaius Acilius Glabrio, who was quaestor in 203 and tribune of the plebs in 197 BC.

Acilia is a neighborhood and a frazione of Rome, Italy, located about half- way between Rome and Ostia, along the Via Ostiense. With a population 66,932 in 2008 it is the third largest Italian frazione after Ostia and Mestre, sometimes considered simply a part, and not a hamlet, of Venice.
