Visellia (gens)
The gens Visellia was a family at Rome during the late Republic and early Empire. Two members of this gens achieved the consulship during the 1st century AD
The only praenomina known to have been used by the Visellii are Gaius and Lucius.
The surnames associated with the Visellii are Varro and Aculeo. The former was a hereditary cognomen of the family, while the latter appears to have been a personal surname. It was probably derived from the adjective aculeus, meaning "sharp, pointy, prickly," or "thorny," and may have been a commentary on the acuteness of its bearer's mind.
