Calvisius

The gens Calvisia was a Roman family, which first rose to prominence during the final century of the Republic, and remained influential well into imperial times. The first of the gens to obtain the consulship was Gaius Calvisius Sabinus in 39 BC. During the later empire, the name Calvisius is sometimes found as a cognomen.

The nomen Calvisius is probably based on the Latin adjective calvus, meaning "bald". Both Calvus and Calvinus were common Roman surnames.

The only family of the Calvisii during the Republic and early imperial times bore the surname Sabinus, referring to a Sabine, or the Sabine culture.
