Regillus

3. M. AEMILIUS (REGILLUS), a brother of No. 2, whom he accompanied in the war against Antiochus : he died at Samos in the course of the year, B. C. 190. (Liv. 37.22.)

It would appear that this family became extinct soon afterwards. We learn from a letter of Cicero (Cic. Att. 12.24.2) that Lepidus, probably M. Aemilius Lepidus, consul B. C. 78, had a son named Regillus, who was dead at the time that Cicero wrote. It is probable that Lepidus wished to revive the cognomen of Regillus in the Aemilia gens, just as he did that of Paulus, which he gave as a surname to his eldest son. [See Vol. II. p. 765b.]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
