The
gens Servilia was a
patrician family at
Rome. The
gens was celebrated during the early ages of the
Republic, and the names of few
gentes appear more frequently at this period in the
consular Fasti. It continued to produce men of influence in the state down to the latest times of the Republic, and even in the
imperial period. The first member of the
gens who obtained the
consulship was
Publius Servilius Priscus Structus in 495 BC, and the last of the name who appears in the consular Fasti is Quintus Servilius Silanus, in AD 189, thus occupying a prominent position in the Roman state for nearly seven hundred years.
