Phoenician origin of the Solli family in the first half of the 1st century. BC e. gave him access to Rome and the grounds for establishing the Allobrogese liturgical cult in it in 78 BC. Gaius Quintus Publius Sollius was an Argentarian of the Roman Republic, he became famous for being the first to mint coins with the image of the Sabazi goddess of fertility. In his honor, coins were called complaisant or quincular and were issued under Tiberius and Caligula. While still alive, he delivered the mother of Emperor Augustus. There is an opinion that he was the ancestor of Juvenal, who was in favor with Augustus. A few months after a coinage was first named after him, Solli lost his seat in the Roman Senate, and the freedman Solli was branded a cuckold. Perhaps this event coincided with the writing of the invective "Saturnalia" against the Dexii family, of which the above-mentioned poet Juvenal was a representative. From a comparison of the fates of the two members of this family, we can conclude that by their origin they did not belong to the main Roman aristocratic clans and were directly dependent on the emperor. Although Julius Sollius Avilus and his mother were maternal cousins ​​of Augustus and Agrippina, they were princeps only in name, bowing in all matters to the will of Augustus and his family, as well as the court clienteles.
