Caecilia (gens)
The ''gens Caecilia'' was a plebeian family at Rome. Members of this gens are mentioned in history as early as the fifth century BC, but the first of the Caecilii who obtained the consulship was Lucius Caecilius Metellus Denter, in 284 BC.〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor. The appearance of ''Titus Caecilius'', a patrician consular tribune for the year 444 BC in Livius, is a false reading for ''Titus Cloelius''.〕〔Titus Livius, ''Ab Urbe Condita'', iv. 7.〕
==Origin==
Like other Roman families in the later times of the Republic, the Caecilii traced their origin to a mythical personage, Caeculus, the founder of Praeneste. He was said to be the son of Vulcan, and engendered by a spark; a similar story was told of Servius Tullius. He was exposed as an infant, but preserved by his divine father, and raised by maidens. He grew up amongst the shepherds, and became a highwayman. Coming of age, he called upon the people of the countryside to build a new town, convincing them with the aid of a miracle. An alternative tradition claimed that the Caecilii were descended from Caecas, one of the companions of Aeneas, who came with him to Italy after the sack of Troy.〔Sextus Pompeius Festus, epitome of Marcus Verrius Flaccus, ''De Verborum Significatu, s. v. Caeculus''.〕〔Servius, ''ad Virg. Aen.'', vii. 678.〕〔Gaius Julius Solinus, ''De Mirabilis Mundi'', ii. 9.〕〔''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor.〕〔〔Johann Adam Hartung, ''Die Religion der Römer'' (1836), i. p. 88 ''ff.''〕〔Rudolf Heinrich Klausen, ''Aeneas und die Penaten'' (1839), p. 761 ''ff.''〕
