The gens Proculeia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome.
Gaius Proculeius was one of the most trusted friends and advisers of Octavian, and one of those whom he considered a possible heir.
[5] Proca, sometimes given as Procas, another possibility, was the name of one of the legendary Kings of Alba Longa, Rome's mother city in story and song, and may be the root form of the name, perhaps with the same meaning as procer.
[6][7] In later times, Proculus was widely used as a surname, with which Proculeius is easily confused.
Other names are occasionally found, including Marcus, Sextus, and Aulus.
