Tutilia gens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]

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]
