Ancient Roman family

"Valerius" and "Valerii" redirect here. For other uses, see [Valerius (name)](/source/Valerius_(name)) and [Valerii (name)](/source/Valerii_(name)).

[Denarius](/source/Denarius) of [Lucius Valerius Flaccus](/source/Lucius_Valerius_Flaccus_(consul_100_BC)), consul in 100 BC, and later magister equitum to the dictator Sulla.

The **gens Valeria** was a [patrician](/source/Patrician_(ancient_Rome)) family at [ancient Rome](/source/Ancient_Rome), prominent from the very beginning of the [Republic](/source/Roman_Republic) to the latest period of the [Empire](/source/Roman_Empire). [Publius Valerius Poplicola](/source/Publius_Valerius_Poplicola) was one of the [consuls](/source/Roman_consul) in 509 BC, the year that saw the overthrow of the [Tarquins](/source/King_of_Rome), and the members of his family were among the most celebrated statesmen and generals at the beginning of the Republic. Over the next ten centuries, few [gentes](/source/Gens) produced as many distinguished men, and at every period the name of *Valerius* was constantly to be found in the lists of annual [magistrates](/source/Roman_magistrate), and held in the highest honour. Several of the [emperors](/source/Roman_emperor) claimed descent from the Valerii, whose name they bore as part of their official nomenclature.[1]

A number of unusual privileges attached to this family, including the right to burial within the city walls,[2][3] and a special place for its members in the [Circus Maximus](/source/Circus_Maximus), where the unique honour of a throne was granted them.[4] The house built by [Poplicola](/source/Publius_Valerius_Poplicola) at the foot of the [Velian Hill](/source/Velian_Hill) was the only one whose doors were permitted to open into the street.[5][6] The historian [Barthold Georg Niebuhr](/source/Barthold_Georg_Niebuhr) conjectured that, during the transition from the [monarchy](/source/Roman_Kingdom) to the Republic, the Valerii were entitled to exercise royal power on behalf of the Titienses, one of the three [Romulean tribes](/source/Roman_tribe#The_Romulean_tribes) that made up the Roman people.[7]

Although one of the most noble and illustrious families of the Roman aristocracy, from the very beginning the Valerii were notable for their advocacy of [plebeian](/source/Plebeian) causes, and many important laws protecting the rights of the plebeians were sponsored by the Valerii.[8] As with many other ancient patrician houses, the family also acquired plebeian branches, which must have been descended either from [freedmen](/source/Freedman) of the Valerii, or from members of the family who, for one reason or another, had gone over to the plebeians.[1]

## Origin

According to tradition, the Valerii were of [Sabine](/source/Sabines) descent, having come to Rome with [Titus Tatius](/source/Titus_Tatius), shortly after the founding of the city.[9][10] However, their [nomen](/source/Nomen_gentilicium), *Valerius*, is a patronymic surname derived from the Latin [praenomen](/source/Praenomen) *Volesus* or *Volusus*, which in turn is derived from *valere*, to be strong.[11][12] [Volesus](/source/Volesus), or Volesus Valerius, the eponymous ancestor of the gens, is said to have been a powerful warrior in the retinue of the Sabine king. Several generations later, another Volesus Valerius was the father of Publius, Marcus, and Manius, three brothers from whom the oldest branches of the family claimed descent.[13]

## Praenomina

The earliest of the Valerii known to history bore the praenomen *[Volesus](/source/Volesus_(praenomen))*, which continued to enjoy occasional use among the Valerii of the early Republic. However, most *stirpes* of the Valerii favoured *[Publius](/source/Publius_(praenomen)), [Marcus](/source/Marcus_(praenomen)), [Manius](/source/Manius_(praenomen))*, and *[Lucius](/source/Lucius_(praenomen))*. Several branches of the family also used *[Gaius](/source/Gaius_(praenomen))*, while the Valerii Faltones employed *[Quintus](/source/Quintus_(praenomen))*, and the Valerii Asiatici of imperial times used *[Decimus](/source/Decimus_(praenomen))*. Other names are seldom found among the Valerii, although in one instance *Potitus*, an ancient surname of the gens, was revived as a praenomen by the Valerii Messallae during the first century. Examples of *[Aulus](/source/Aulus_(praenomen))*, *[Numerius](/source/Numerius_(praenomen))*, *[Sextus](/source/Sextus_(praenomen))*, *[Tiberius](/source/Tiberius_(praenomen))*, and *[Titus](/source/Titus_(praenomen))* are found in inscriptions.

## Branches and cognomina

The oldest branches of the Valerii bore the surnames *Poplicola, Potitus*, and *Maximus*, with *Volusus* being used by the first generations of the *Potiti* and *Maximi*. Later families bore various [cognomina](/source/Cognomen), including *Corvus* or *Corvinus, Falto, Flaccus, Laevinus, Messalla, Tappo*, and *Triarius*. Most other surnames found in Republican times belonged to freedmen or [clientes](/source/Patronage_in_ancient_Rome) of the Valerii. The surnames *Acisculus, Catullus, Flaccus*, and *Barbatus* appear on coins. A few Valerii are known without any cognomina, but they achieved little of significance.[1]

*Poplicola*, also found as *Publicola* and *Poplicula*, belongs to a class of surnames referring to the character of the bearer. Derived from *populus* and *colo*, the name might best be explained as "one who courts the people."[14][15] The cognomen first appears in history as the surname given to Publius Valerius, one of the consuls chosen in 509 BC to serve alongside [Lucius Junius Brutus](/source/Lucius_Junius_Brutus). Despite his patrician background, he made a considerable effort to win the support of the plebeians, averting a breach between the two orders at the inception of the Republic.[16] *Poplicola* seems to have been the original form, while in inscriptions *Publicola* is more common, and *Poplicula* is occasionally found.[17] *Publicola* is found in literary sources from the end of the Republic, including [Livy](/source/Livy) and [Cicero](/source/Cicero).[14]

The Valerii Potiti were descended from [Marcus Valerius Volusus](/source/Marcus_Valerius_Volusus), the brother of Poplicola, who fell in battle at [Lake Regillus](/source/Battle_of_Lake_Regillus). The surname *Potitus* seems to be derived from *potio*, to place someone under one's power, and might be translated as "leader".[15] This family flourished from the early years of the Republic down to the Samnite Wars, when the cognomen seems to have been replaced by *Flaccus*, a surname first borne by one of the Potiti, who must have been flabby or had floppy ears.[18] *Potitus* was later revived as a praenomen by the Valerii Messallae, a practice that was common in aristocratic families toward the end of the Republic. As a distinct family, the Valerii Flacci continued down to the first century AD.[19]

*Maximus*, the superlative of *magnus*, "great",[i] was the cognomen of the Valerii descended from the third brother, [Manius Valerius Volusus](/source/Manius_Valerius_Maximus), who first bore the surname. The Valerii Maximi appear in history down to the [First Punic War](/source/First_Punic_War), after which time the surname was replaced by *Messalla* or *Messala*, a cognomen derived from the city of [Messana](/source/Messina) in [Sicilia](/source/Sicilia_(Roman_province)). [The first to bear this name](/source/Manius_Valerius_Maximus_Corvinus_Messalla) received it after relieving Messana from a [Carthaginian](/source/Ancient_Carthage) blockade in 264 BC. The Valerii Messallae held numerous consulships and other high offices in the Roman state, remaining prominent well into imperial times. Some of them had additional surnames, including *Barbatus*, "bearded", as well as *Niger* and *Rufus*, originally referring to someone with black or red hair. The names *Valerius Maximus* and *Valerius Messalla* occur as late as the third century, but the consular family of that age may have been descended from the Valerii through the female line, and more properly belonged to the [Vipstani](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vipstana_gens&action=edit&redlink=1).[20][21]

The branch of the Valerii Maximi that gave rise to the Messallae also bore the surname *Corvinus*, a diminutive of *Corvus*, a raven. The first of this family was [Marcus Valerius Corvus](/source/Marcus_Valerius_Corvus), who in his youth earned everlasting renown for his combat against a giant [Gaul](/source/Gauls) in 349 BC. Corvus defeated his adversary with the help of a raven that repeatedly flew in the barbarian's face. He held the consulship six times, was dictator twice, and reached the age of one hundred. The two forms of this surname are interchangeable, but the hero is usually referred to as *Corvus*, while *Corvinus* generally refers to his descendants.[22][23]

Another branch of the Valerii Maximi bore the surname *Lactucinus*, derived from *Lactuca*, lettuce, the cognomen of an early member of the family. Such names, referring to objects, were quite common at Rome. The first of this family was a son of the first Valerius Maximus, but the surname was of brief duration; the last mention of the Valerii Lactucinae is early in the fourth century BC.[24][23]

The cognomen *Laevinus*, meaning "left-handed", belonged to a family of the Valerii that was prominent for about a century, beginning with the [Pyrrhic War](/source/Pyrrhic_War), in 280 BC. This family may have been another offshoot of the Valerii Maximi, as the surname first appears in connection with the trial of [Spurius Cassius Vecellinus](/source/Spurius_Cassius_Vecellinus) in 485 BC. They continued long after they had ceased to have any importance in the Roman state, and the family is mentioned as late as the end of the first century AD.[25][26][27][18]

The Valerii Faltones flourished at the end of the third century BC, first appearing at the end of the First Punic War. Their relationship to the other Valerii is not immediately apparent, as none of the older stirpes of the gens used the praenomen *Quintus*, but they may have been a cadet branch of the Valerii Maximi, whose surname disappears around this time. The surname *Falto* is another form of *Falco*, referring to a falcon, and was commonly given to someone with inward-pointing toes, resembling talons.[ii][28][18][29]

The plebeian Valerii Triarii belong to the time of Cicero, in the first century BC. None of them rose higher than the rank of [praetor](/source/Praetor), and the family was of brief duration. Their surname, *Triarius*, seems to allude to their military service; in the Roman army of this period, a *[triarius](/source/Triarii)* was a soldier of the third rank, the heavily armed reserve infantry, often consisting of older, wealthier men, and the last line of defense in battle.[30][31]

*Catullus* seems to be another orthography of *Catulus*, a surname of the [Lutatia gens](/source/Lutatia_gens), referring to a whelp, cub, or puppy. The Valerii Catulli appear in the first century BC, beginning with the renowned poet, and their surname continued through the first century of the Empire. One of the Catulli bore the additional surname of *Messalinus*, previously associated with the Valerii Messallae, but it is unclear whether the Catulli were descended from the Messallae, or whether the surname entered the family at a later time. The pairing of *Catullus Messalinus* was also borne by one of the Valerii Asiatici, but again the nature of the relationship between these families is unknown.[23][32]

*Asiaticus*, the surname of the only major family of the Valerian gens to emerge in imperial times, belongs to a class of cognomina typically derived from the locations of military exploits.[33] In this instance the source of the name is not apparent, although it might allude to some connection with the [Cornelii](/source/Cornelia_gens) Scipiones; [Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus](/source/Lucius_Cornelius_Scipio_Asiaticus) was the younger brother of [Scipio Africanus](/source/Scipio_Africanus), and his surname was passed down in his family for several generations. The Valerii Asiatici were closely connected with the imperial family from the time of [Caligula](/source/Caligula) to that of [Hadrian](/source/Hadrian), and accounted for several consulships.[34]

During his year of office, the number of praetors was increased from two to four. In 219, he was one of the ambassadors sent to the Carthaginians to threaten war in response to the attack on [Saguntum](/source/Sagunto). He held several important commands during the early years of the Second Punic War.[129][130][131][132]

- [Lucius Valerius P. f. L. n. Flaccus](/source/Lucius_Valerius_Flaccus_(consul_195_BC)), as a military tribune in 212 BC, led a daring attack on the camp of the Carthaginian general [Hanno](/source/Hanno%2C_son_of_Bomilcar) near [Beneventum](/source/Benevento).

## Footnotes

1. **[^](#cite_ref-20)** While *Maximus* might be taken to mean that Manius was the "greatest" of the brothers, either physically or because of his reputation, it could also mean that he was the eldest brother; according to tradition he was already elderly at the time of his dictatorship in 494 BC.

1. **[^](#cite_ref-29)** The modern expression is "pigeon-toed".

1. **[^](#cite_ref-71)** The Capitoline Fasti give Gaius' filiation as *L. f. Vol. n.*, and Lucius' as *L. f. P. n.*, but Münzer suggests that "Volesus" is a mistake for "Publius", in which case Gaius and Lucius would probably be brothers.

1. **[^](#cite_ref-102)** John Briscoe says "it is unlikely in the extreme" that Valerius Maximus belonged to the patrician Valerii, and suggests he descended from the plebeian Valerii Tapones or Triarii.

1. **[^](#cite_ref-291)** Or *Teidius*; both spellings are found for Valerius.
