Aulus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several prominent ancient Romans had the praenomen Aulus:
- Aulus Agerius (a name for the plaintiff in a lawsuit)
- Aulus Atilius Calatinus
- Aulus Caecina
- Aulus Caecina Alienus
- Aulus Cornelius Celsus
- Aulus Cornelius Cossus
- Aulus Cremutius Cordus
- Aulus Didius Gallus
- Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento
- Aulus Gabinius
- Aulus Gallus
- Aulus Gellius
- Aulus Hirtius - consul after Caesar
- Aulus Licinius Archias
- Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus
- Aulus Persius Flaccus
- Aulus Platorius Nepos
- Aulus Plautius
- Aulus Terentius Varro Murena
- Aulus Vitellius
- Aulus Vitellius Germanicus
The name was traditionally connected with Latin aula, olla, "palace", but this is most likely a folk etymology. Aulus in fact probably derives from Etruscan Aule, Avle, Avile, of unknown meaning.
