Holconia gens

The gens Holconia was a Roman plebeian family of imperial times. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but a number are known from epigraphy, showing that for generations they were among the leading families of Pompeii in Campania. Nearly all of the inscriptions of the Holconii are from Pompeii, although an inscription from second-century Egypt indicates that some of them escaped the destruction of Pompeii in AD 79.
