Aponia (gens)

The gens Aponia was a Roman family during the later Republic, and the 1st century of the Empire. The gens is known from only a few individuals.^[1]

Members of the gens

• Quintus Aponius, one of the commanders under Gaius Trebonius, Caesar's lieutenant in Hispania.
• Gaius Aponius Mutilus, apparently confused with Gaius Papius Mutilus, a Samnite leader during the Social War, in the history of Diodorus Siculus.^[1][2]
• Aponius Saturninus, governor of Moesia at the death of Nero, first espoused the cause of Vitellius, but deserted him for Vespasian.
