Accia (gens)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The gens Accia was a Roman family during the late Republic. The gens is known primarily from two individuals, Lucius Accius, a freedman and tragic poet of the 2nd century BC, and Titus Accius, a Roman eques who in 66 BC undertook the prosecution of Aulus Cluentius Habitus, defended by Cicero in his oration Pro Cluentio.[1]
Both men were from the town of Pisaurum in Umbria, suggesting that the gens was of Umbrian origin. It is not known whether Titus Accius was a descendant of the poet, or of the family that had freed him.[2]
