Apustia (gens)

The gens Apustia was a plebeian family at Rome during the period of the Republic. The first member of this gens who obtained the consulship was Lucius Apustius Fullo, in 226 BC.[1]

Praenomina

The praenomina associated with the Apustiii included Lucius, Gaius, and Publius.[2]

Branches and cognomina

The only significant branch of the Apustia gens at Rome bore the cognomen Fullo. It was probably derived from the occupation of one of the Apustii, a cleaner of woolen cloths.[3]
