Orbicia (gens)

The gens Orbicia was an obscure plebeian family of ancient Rome. None of its members are known to have held any magistracies, but several are known from inscriptions. The name may be best remembered from Orbicius, perhaps a Byzantine military strategist of uncertain date, credited with the authorship of a short treatise on the Byzantine army.
