RUTULI

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 946 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUTULI , a people of ancient Italy inhabiting Ardea and the
district
  round it on the
coast
  of Latium, at no
great
  distance from Aricia, and just W. of the territory of the Volsci. They are ranked by the form of their name with the Siculi and Appuli (Apuli), probably also with the Itali, whose real
Italic
  name would probably have been Vituli (see ITALY). This suggests that they belong to a fairly early stratum of the Indo-European
population
  of Italy. The same is suggested by the tradition adopted or moulded by Virgil, by which the
leader
  of the people of the soil in their resistance to the
settlement
  of Aeneas was the Rutulian prince Tumus, a name which, if any conjecture could be founded on it, might be held to point rather to Etruria than to any pure
Italic
  source; he is represented as the hospes of the exiled
Etruscan
  king Mezentius, and as taking up arms to defend him against his angry subjects. Pliny (iii. 6) classes them, with the Siculi, among the primitive tribes that at one time or another inhabited
part
  of Latium, and it is to be observed that they are not included in the thirty Latin communities who once took
part
  in the Latin Festival on the Alban
Mount
  (see further SICULI). (R. S. C.)
