The gens Hostilia was an ancient family at Rome. The nomen Hostilius is a patronymic surname, based on the praenomen Hostus, which was borne by the ancestors of the gens. The same praenomen gave rise to another gens, with the nomen Hostius. The earliest known member of the Hostilii was Hostus Hostilius, a Roman champion in the earliest days of the city. However, if he also bore the nomen Hostilius, then that name must have originated at an earlier time. The meaning of the praenomen remains obscure but it could possibly have originated as a variation of Faustus, another ancient name meaning fortunate in Etruscan we find two possible cognates, the feminine praenomina Fasti and Hasti, of which the latter is a variation of the former. The Hostilii came originally from Medullia, an ancient city in Latium, and are thought to have settled at Rome in the time of Romulus. Although the Hostilii of the Republic had no specific tradition about Medullia, coins minted by one of the later Hostilii bear the heads of Pallor and Pavor, the gods of fear and panic, in an allusion to Tullus Hostilius, who vowed temples to Pallor and Pavor during his war with Veii and Fidenae. If the later Hostilii were descended from the Hostilii of the regal period, then they were of Medullian origin. The most famous member of the gens was Tullus Hostilius, the third King of Rome however, all of the Hostilii known from the time of the Republic were plebeians. Several of the Hostilii were distinguished during the Punic Wars. The first of the family to obtain the consulship was Aulus Hostilius Mancinus in 170 BC. Lucius Hostilius Saserna was appointed triumvir monetalis in 48 BC. He was an ally of Julius Caesar. This highly interesting type would seem to refer to an incident in the early stages of the civil war between Caesar and Pompeius. It will be remembered that shortly after taking possession of Rome, Caesar had marched west to confront the Pompeian forces in Spain. His advance was briefly hampered by the stubborn resistance of the Greek city of Massalia (modern Marseille) on the southern coastline of Gaul and he was obliged to spend valuable time organizing a siege by sea as well as by land. Having made the necessary arrangements he continued on his march to Spain leaving others to take care of the reduction of Massalia. Ultimately it fell into Caesarean hands and on his journey home following his success in Spain, Caesar was able to visit the city. Although the inhabitants were spared the uasual atrocities of retribution, Massalia was nevertheless deprived of its extensive territories and ceased to exercise any independent political influence in western Mediterranean affairs. The reverse type of this denarius commemorates the episode through its depiction on an archaic statue of the Ephesian Artemis. This deity was held in special reverence by the Greek citizens of Massalia and the city possessed a splendid temple erected in honour of the goddess.
