e/Caelia (gens)

Information
has gloss	eng: The gens Caelia or Coelia was a plebeian family at Rome. In manuscripts the nomen is usually written Caelius, while on coins it generally occurs in the form of Coelius or Coilius, though we find on one coin L. Caelius Tax. From the similarity of the names, Caelius is frequently confounded with Caecilius. No members of the gens obtained the higher offices of the state till the beginning of the first century B.C.; the first who obtained the consulship was Gaius Caelius Caldus in 94 B.C.
