The gens Lollia was a plebeian family at Rome. Members of the gens do not appear at Rome until the last century of the Republic. The first of the family to obtain the consulship was Marcus Lollius, in 21 BC.

Origin

The Lollii appear to have been either of Samnite or Sabine origin, for a Samnite of this name is mentioned in the war with Pyrrhus and Marcus Lollius Palicanus, who was tribune of the plebs in 71 BC, is described as a native of Picenum.

Praenomina

The praenomina used by the Lollii included Quintus, Marcus, Lucius and Gnaeus.

Branches and cognomina

The only cognomen of the Lollii in the time of the Republic was Palicanus, but others appear under the Empire.
