The gens Attia was a
plebeian family at
Rome, which may be identical with the
gens Atia, also sometimes spelled with a double t. This
gens is known primarily from two individuals:
Publius Attius Atimetus, a physician to
Augustus, and another physician of the same name, who probably lived later during the first century AD, and may have been a son of the first.[1] A member of this family rose to the
consulship in the early second century, but his career is known entirely from inscriptions.
