context_page_description: The gens Salvia was a minor Roman family toward the end of the Republic. The first of the family known to have held public office at Rome was Publius Salvius Aper, praetorian prefect in 2 BC. About this time, the Salvii achieved equestrian rank, and thereafter held various positions in the Roman state for the next two centuries, before falling back into obscurity. The most illustrious of the Salvii was probably Marcus Salvius Otho, proclaimed emperor in AD 69.
