The gens Silia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are mentioned as early as the fifth century BC, but first to hold the consulship was Publius Silius Nerva, in the time of Augustus.[1] The Silii remained prominent until the time of the Severan dynasty, in the early third century.
