The gens Tutilia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens came to prominence until imperial times, but two of them attained the consulship under the Antonines.[1]
Origin edit
The nomen Tutilius belongs to a large class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina ending in the diminutive suffix -ulus. The root of the name is probably either the Latin tutus, "safe", or perhaps the Oscan touto, a people.[2]
Members edit
- This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
- Tutilius, an orator, and the father-in-law of Quintilian. He was respected as a scholar of rhetoric, but nothing of his own work has survived.[3][4][5][6][7]
- Tutilia, the wife of Quintilian.[3]
- Lucius Tutilius Lupercus Sulpicius Avitus, a relative of the consul Lupercus Pontianus, named on a sepulchral inscription from Falerii in Etruria, dating from the latter half of the first century.[8][9]

- Tutilius Lupercus, either the younger brother or son of Tutilius Pontianus.[14]
