About: Dellia gens

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The gens Dellia was a plebeian family of equestrian rank at ancient Rome. It is known chiefly from a single individual, Quintus Dellius, an eques, who served successively with Dolabella, Cassius, and Marcus Antonius. Shortly before the Battle of Actium, having been sent to collect auxiliaries, he deserted to Octavian, perhaps motivated by his fear of Cleopatra, whom he had offended. He wrote a history of the war against the Parthians, with whom he had fought under Antonius. Although the history is entirely lost, it is believed to be the source for Plutarch's account of that war. Dellius is probably the same person to whom Horace dedicated the third ode of his second book.

  • La gens Delia o Dellia era una familia plebeya de équites en la antigua Roma. Se conoce principalmente por un solo individuo, Quinto Delio, un équite, que sirvió sucesivamente con Publio Cornelio Dolabela, Cayo Casio Longino y Marco Antonio. Poco antes de la batalla de Accio, tras haber sido enviado a recoger auxiliares, desertó con Augusto, quizás motivado por su miedo a Cleopatra, a quien había ofendido. Escribió una historia de la guerra contra los partos, con los que había luchado bajo Antonio. Aunque la historia está completamente perdida, se cree que es la fuente del relato de Plutarco sobre esa guerra. Delio es probablemente la misma persona a la que Horacio dedicó la tercera oda de su segundo libro.​​ (es)
