Ahala was a cognomen used by a branch of the patrician gens Servilia. There were also several persons of this gens with the name of Structus Ahala, who may have formed a different family from the Ahalae; but as the Ahalae and Structi Ahalae are frequently confounded, all known persons of these names are given here.
