Turvariskideks

Turvariskideks, also known as the Turvariiskides, were a prominent noble family in ancient Rome. They were part of the equestrian order, which was the second highest social class after the patricians. The family's name is derived from the Latin word "turvari," meaning "to disturb" or "to disturb the peace," reflecting their role in maintaining order and security in the Roman Republic.

The Turvariskideks are first mentioned in historical records during the late 4th century BC. They gained prominence through their military service and political influence. One of the most notable members of the family was Marcus Turvariiskides, who served as a consul in 338 BC. His son, Lucius Turvariiskides, also held the consulship in 312 BC.

The family's influence waned over time, and by the 2nd century BC, they had largely disappeared from the political scene. However, their legacy lived on through their descendants, who continued to serve in various capacities within the Roman state.

The Turvariskideks are remembered for their contributions to the Roman Republic, particularly in the areas of military and political service. Their name is often associated with the values of duty, honor, and service to the state, which were highly regarded in ancient Roman society.
