RUTI1585 P. Rutilius (9) M. f.

Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 136 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • When Mancinus returned to Rome, Rutilius prevented him from entering the Senate on the ground that he had lost his citizenship beyond recovery (Cic. De Or. 1.181; cf. 238; 2.137; see Praetors, on Scaevola). On his name, see CIL 1 .2.360. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Willems (Sénat 1.113) holds that Scipio Nasica Serapio, Cos. 138, was chosen Princeps Senatus in 136, but the passage of Diodorus (34.33) on which he bases his argument has confused three generations of Nasicae. The evidence of Plutarch strongly indicates that Claudius was Princeps Senatus in 133. (Broughton MRR I)
