Serranus
3. C. Atilius Serranus, probably the eldest son of No. 2, curule aedile B. C. 193, with L. Scribonius Libo. They were the first aediles who exhibited the Megalesia as ludi scenici; and it was in their aedileship that the senators had seats assigned them in the theatre, distinct from the rest of the people. He did not obtain the praetorship till B. C. 185. (Liv. 34.54; V. Max. 2.4.3; Ascon. in Tog. Cand. p. 69, ed. Orelli; Liv. 39.23.)
