Spurius Nautius Rutilus was a consular tribune of the Roman Republic in 424 BC. [1]
Nautius belonged to the patrician Nautia gens. Filiations indicate that he was the son, or more likely the grandson of Spurius Nautius Rutilus, the consul of 488 BC. Nautius himself seems to be the father of Spurius Nautius Rutilus, consular tribune in 419, 416 and 404 BC, and Gaius Nautius Rutilus, consul in 411 BC. [2]
In 424 BC Nautius was elected as consular tribune together with Appius Claudius Crassus, Lucius Sergius Fidenas and Sextus Julius Iulus. Nautius seems to have spent most of his consular time outside of Rome, probably leading armies in the field, as Livy mentions that only his colleague Claudius remained in Rome for the comitia and the election of the consular college of 423 BC. [3] [4] [5] [6] Nautius is not mentioned after 424 BC but both his sons, Spurius and Gaius, became successful politicians, achieving consular powers in 419 and 411 BC respectively.
Livy in reporting the consular college of 424 BC has Nautius named Naevius, a plebeian gens, but soon after confirms that all the consular tribunes of 424 were patricians and in a later chapter has him named Nautius. As other sources, such as Diodorus Siculus, also has him named Nautius, it is most likely that the Naevius mentioned by Livy is a mistake on the part of the ancient historian or later transcribers.

The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Publius Servilius Priscus Structus in 495 BC, and the last of the name who appears in the consular Fasti is Quintus Servilius Silanus, in AD 189, thus occupying a prominent position in the Roman state for nearly seven hundred years.

A few Nautii occur in imperial times, including a number who appear to have been freedmen, and in the provinces.
