The cognomen Rutilus is frequent in the Nautian gens. Vigellinus in Chr. 354 indicates some confusion with Sp. Cassius Vecellinus (see 502, 493, 486). On the use of these cognomina in the Nautian and Furian families, see Degrassi, Indices, on Fusus, Fast. Cap. 481 and 472, on Medullinus, ib. 474, 420, 409, 405, on Rutilus, ib. 475, 458.
