Notes:

The stemma after the brothers L. Turcius Apronianus signo Asterius and L. Turcius Secundus signo Asterius is disputed, but not in our scope.

Turcius Almachius, the praefectus urbi who executed Saint Caecilia traditionally under Alexander Severus (222/235), alternatively c.176/180, is hardly historical.
