The
gensTrebellia, occasionally written Trebelia, was a
plebeian family at
ancient Rome. Members of this
gens are first mentioned at the time of the
Second Punic War, but they played little role in the Roman state until the final decades of the
Republic.[1] Trebellii are known from inscriptions in Delos and in Athens between 150 and 89 BC.[2] The most illustrious of the Trebellii was
Marcus Trebellius Maximus, who attained the
consulship in AD 55.

Marcus Trebellius, described by
Cicero as a friend of Sextus Naevius in 81 BC.[5]
Lucius Trebellius,
tribune of the plebs in 67 BC, together with his colleague, Lucius Roscius Otho, opposed the appointment of
Pompeius to make war against the pirates. Trebellius refused all efforts to remove his objection, until his colleague
Aulus Gabinius, who had proposed Pompeius' appointment, called upon the
Comitia Tributa to remove Trebellius from office. Trebellius withdrew his opposition just before Gabinius could obtain a majority.[6][7]
Lucius Trebellius Fides, tribune of the plebs in 47 BC. In order to gain
Caesar's favour, he opposed a measure proposed by his colleague,
Publius Cornelius Dolabella, to abolish debts, although he himself was heavily indebted, and he proposed a similar measure after Caesar's death. He was a friend of
Mark Antony, alongside whom he fought against
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus in 43 BC.[8][9][10][11]
Aulus Trebellius, an
eques in the army of Pompeius in 45 BC, during the
Civil War, went over to Caesar during the Spanish campaign.[12]
Trebellius Pollio, one of the six supposed authors of Historia Augusta. Flavius Vopiscus, another of the scriptores, describes Pollio as careless and lacking in detail. According to him, Pollio wrote "lives" of the emperors from
Philip the Arab to
Claudius Gothicus, covering the period from AD 244 to 270, but the only those covering
Valerian,
Gallienus, Claudius, and the so-called Thirty Tyrants are extant.[18][19]
