Furius
(3,311 words)
Name of an ancient Roman patrician lineage (on inscriptions also
Fourios), derived from the praenomen
Fusus and also occurring occasionally in the original form
Fusius in the literary tradition; the family perhaps came from Tusculum (cf. the family grave of the Furii ILLRP 895-903). The numerous members of the gens from the early Republic in the 5th/4th cents. BC are scarcely tangible as historical persons, and their history is in part later annalistic invention.

Iulius
(18,763 words)
Name of an old patrician family, probably connected with the name of the god Jupiter [1. 281; 2. 729]. The
gens was one of the so-called ‘Trojan families’, who were said to have moved from Alba Longa to Rome under king Tullus Hostilius [I 4] (see below). The Iulii were prominent in the 5th and 4th cents. BC. Their connection to the family branch of the Caesares, which rose to prominence from the 3rd cent. and whose outstanding member was the dictator Caesar (with family tree), is unclear. Caesar's adoptive son,…
