Mallia gens

The gens Mallia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Due to its relative obscurity, the nomen Mallius is frequently, but erroneously amended to the more common Manlius. The only member of this gens to obtain any of the higher curule magistracies under the Republic was Gnaeus Mallius Maximus, consul in 105 BC. Othere Mallii are known from epigraphy, including funerary inscriptions and military diplomas showing that various members of this gens served in auxiliary cohorts of the Roman army during imperial times.
