Stallia gens  The gens Stallia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Hardly any members of this gens are mentioned by ancient writers, but a number are known from inscriptions. The nomen "Stallius" seems to be of Oscan derivation, as most of the Stallii found in inscriptions came from Campania and adjoining regions in southern Italy. The first of the Stallii appearing in history bore the distinctly Oscan praenomen "Sthenius". Besides the early instance of "Sthenius", the Stallii mentioned in epigraphy all bore very common praenomina, including "Gaius", "Marcus", "Quintus", "Publius", and "Lucius".
