Heia (gens)
The gens Heia was a Roman family at Messana, which appears in history during the final century of the Republic. They were part of the ancient nobility of the city, and at some time became hereditary clientes of the Claudian gens.[1]
Members
- Gnaeus Heius, one of the judges of the Judicium Albianum, the court that tried Oppianicus in 74 BC.[2]
- Heius, a Lilybaean, and a ward of Gaius Claudius Pulcher. The praetor Verres used his position to despoil Heius of his money and works of art.[3]
- Gaius Heius, led a deputation of citizens from Messana who were brought to Rome in order to testify on behalf of Verres, during his trial in BC 70. Instead, Heius described for the prosecution how Verres had seized numerous artworks belonging to his family, including outstanding works of Greek sculpture.[4]
- Gaius Heius Primus, Flamen Augustalis at Olisipo in the time of Nero, provided the orchestra for the theatre of that city.[5][6]
- Marcus Heius, prefect or governor of Egypt between AD 42 and 45.

gollark: I also can't get Linux to recognize the existence of the power button, but that's not a huge issue.
gollark: The display can rotate 180 degrees because of a neat hinge mechanism, but it also has a TN panel which is barely viewable 45 degrees off the right angle.
gollark: There are access panels on the bottom for the RAM and disk, suggesting they wanted to make it easy to maintain, but it also has some bizarre plastic clip things which are very annoying to remove.
