Mutia (gens)

The gens Mutia was an obscure plebeian family at Rome. None of its members is known to have held any magistracy, but many are known from inscriptions, including a large number of freedmen.

The Lapide dei Quattuorviri, now in the wall of a church at Gottolengo, near the ancient city of Brixia. The stone dates to the first century, and commemorates the construction of a defensive tower by the quattuorviri of Brixia, Gaius Mutius, Publius Popillius, Quintus Mucius, and Marcus Cornelius.
