Joannus dixit.


"Rutilia, a plebeian family; surnamed Flaccus. The following is the only medal (in silver, and not very rare) extant of this family;This denarius refers to L. Rutilius Flaccus, who was an edilis plebis ".
source -Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities edited by William Smith (1870).

"Apart from two tribuns (in 169bc y 56bc), the most famous members from this family were Q. Rutilius Lupus, consul with J. César y L. Rutilus who was a judge and most possibly the only magister in the gens".
