Notes: Glabrii became Patrician under Empire.
Numeration of each Glabrio as DP-xx follows Dondin-Payre.
Alternative stemma at bottom where Acilius Glabrio and Acilius Aviola are one family.  The discovery of a Aviola as cos suff in 82 makes this scenario less likely, I prefer
them as two stemmata, but scholars disagree.
