Comments

The gens Sulpicia was one of the oldest patrician families of Rome, and produced a succession of distinguished men, from the founding of the Republic to the imperial period. The first member of the people who obtained the consulate was Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus in 500 BC. The family also had plebeian members, some of which can be descended from people's freedmen.

Coin also known with AED (AE in monogram) on reverse instead of AE only.
