English: Marcus Atius Balbus married Julia, sister of Julius Caesar, who became the mother of Atia, wife of Caius Octavius, and mother of Augustus. This gens is of no great antiquity, and got the cognomen from a stammerer in the family; nor did any of its members ever attain the consulship; but when it became so splendidly allied, heraldic unction and Virgil's poetic flattery was applied.

Era nonno di Augusto, in quanto sua figlia Atia Balba Caesonia era la madre dell'Imperatore. Nel 60 a.C. fu Pretore e amministratore della Sardegna.
