Lutatius
Some writers consider him to be the same as the C. Lutatius Catulus who perished in the proscription of Marius [CATULUS, No. 3]; but he was probably a different person, as Cicero makes no mention of the Communis Historia in his enumeration of the works of Catulus. (Cic. Brut. 35.)
Works
the author of an historical work, entitled Communis Historia, or Communes Historiae, of which a fourth book is quoted. (Probus, ad Virg. Georg. 3.280; Serv. ad Aen. 9.710.)
