'', which does not occur in literary sources. Other cognomina occur in the imperial times. A number of Rutilii bore no surname. ''Rufus'', red, was typically given to someone with red hair, and this choice of cognomen may have been influenced by the fact that the nomen ''Rutilius'' has the same meaning.Chase, pp. 109, 110. Another of the surnames of the Rutilii, ''Calvus'', indicated someone bald, while ''Lupus'', a wolf, belongs to a common type of cognomen derived from familiar objects and animals. ''Flaccus'' indicated someone flabby, or with floppy ears.
