J.] KUSTICIA'NA ('PoucTTi/coj'a, Ttoh ii. 5. § 7), a city of the Yettones in Lusitania, on the right bank of the Tagus. Variously identified with Corchuela and Galisteo. (It. Ant. v. 4,53.) [T. H. I).] RUSUCU'RItlUiM, EiJSSUCU'RFvIUM (Plin. v. 1; It. Ant.; 'PovaaoKKupat, PtoL iv. 2. § 8), a town of JIauretania, which Claudius made a muni- cipium (Plin. I. c), but which was afterwards a colonia (Itin. Ant.). Barth {Wanderungen, p. 60) lias identified it with the landing-place IMlijs in A l- ffei-ia, where there is good anchorage. [E. B. J.] EUTE'NI ('PouTTjj'oi), and 'Povravoi in Ptolemy (ii. 7. § 21), who places them in Gallia Aquitania. Pliny (iv. 19) says that the Euteni border on the Narbonensis Provincia ; and Strabo (iv. p. 191) places them and the Gabaleis or Gabali next to the Narbonensis. Their country was the old province of liouergtie, which extended from the Cevennes, its eastern boundary, about 90 miles in a western direc- tion. The chief town was Rhodez. The modern department of Aveyron comprehends a large part of the Ro2iergue. There were silver mines in the country of the Euteni and their neighbours the Gabali [Gabali], and the flax of this country was good. The Arverni and Euteni were defeated by Q. Fabius Jlasimus, B. c. 121, but their counlry was not reduced to the form of a Roman province (Caes. B. G. i. 45). In Caesar's time part of the Ruteni were included in the Provincia under the name of Euteni Provinciales (jB. G. vii. 5, 7). Yercingetorix in B. c. 52 sent Lucterius of the Cadurci into the country of the Ruteni to bring them over to the Gallic confederation, which he did. Caesar, in order to protect the Provincia on this side, placed troops in the country of the Ruteni Provinciales, and among the Volcae Arecomici and Tolosates. Pliny, who enumerates the Ruteni among the people of Aqui- tania, also mentions Ruteni in the Narbonensis (iii. 4), but he means the town Segodunum [Sego- dunum]. The Euteni Provinciales of course were nearer to the Tectosages than the other Ruteni, and we may perhaps place them in that part of the departments oi Aveyron and Tarn which is south of theTarnis {Tarn). It may be conjectured that part of the Ruteni were added to the Provincia, either after the defeat of the Ruteni by Jlaximus, or after the conquest of Tolosa bvCaepio (n.c. 106.) [G.L.] RUTICLEI. [RuGii.] RUTUBA {Roja), a river of Liguria, which rises in tlie Maritime A Ips, near the Col de Tende, and flows into the sea at Vintimiglia (Albium Intemehum). Its name is found in Pliny (iii. 5. s. 7), who places it apparently to the W. of Albium Intemelium, whereas it really flows on the E. side of that town; Luean also notices it among the streams which flow from the Apennines (ii. 422), and gives it the epithet of " cavus," from its flowing through a deep bed or ravine. From the mention of the Tiber just after, some writers have supposed that he nmst mean another river of the name; but there is no reason to expect such strict geographical order from a poet, and the mention of the Macra a few lines lower down sufficiently shows that none such was iTitended. Yibius Sequester (p. 17) who makes the Rutuba fall into the Tiber, has obviously misunder- stood the passage of Lucan. [E. H. B.] EUTUBIS (Polyb. ap. Plin. v. 1 ; 'VuvaiQls, Ptol. EUTUPIAE iv. 5. § 1), a port of Mauretania, which must be identified with the low rocky point of Mazagun. The town situated upon this was the last possess(/il by the Portuguese in Jllarocco, and was abandoneil by them in 1769. (Jackson, Mai-occo, p. 104; Journ. of Geogr. Sac. vol. vi, p. 306.) [E. B. J.] EU'TULI ('PouTouAoi), a people of ancient Italv, who, according to a tradition generally received in later times', were settled at a very early period in a part of Latium, adjoining the sea-coast, their capital city being Ardea. The prominent part that they and their king Turnus bear in the legendaiy history of Aeneas and the Trojan settlement, especially in the form in which this has been worked up by Yirgil, has given great celebrity to their nanv but they appear to have been, in fact, even aecordiii:,' to these very traditions, a small and unimportant people. Their king Turnus himself is represented as dependent on Latinus ; aud it is certain that in the historical period Ardea was one of the cities of the Latin League (Dionys. v. 61), while the name of the Rutuli had become merged in that of the Latin people. Not long before this indeed Livy represents the Eutuli as a still existing people, and the arms of Tarquinius Superbus as directed against them when he proceeded to attack Ardea, just before his expul- sion. (Liv. i. 56, 57.) According to this narrative Ardea was not taken, but we learn from much better authority (the treaty between Eome and Carthage preserved by Polybius, iii. 22) that it had fallen under the power of the Eomans before the close of the monarchy, and it is possible that the extinction of the Rutuli as an independent people may date from this period. The only other mention of the Rutuli which can be called historical is that their name is found in the list given by Cato {ap. Priscian. iv. 4. p. 629) of the cities that took part in the founda- tion of the celebrated temple of Diana at Aricia, a list in all probability founded upon some ancient re- cord ; and it is remarkable that they here figure as distinct from the Ardeates. There were some ob- scure traditions in antiquity that represented Ardea as founded by a colony from Argos [Ardea], and these are regarded by Niebuhr as tending to prove that the Rutuli were a Pelasgic race. (Nieb. vol. i. p. 44, vol. ii. p. 21.) Schwegler, on the other han i considers them as connected with the Etruscans, ana probably a relic of the period when that people had extended their dominion throughout Latium and Campania. This theory finds some support in the name of Turnus, which may probably be connected with Tyrrhenus, as well as in the union which the legend represents as subsisting between Turnus and the Etruscan king Mezentius. (Schwegler, Rom. Gesch. vol. i. pp. 330, 33 L) But the whole subject is so mixed up with fable and poetical invention, that it is impossible to feel confidence in any such conjectures. [E. H.B.] EUTU'NIUM (It. Ant. p. 469), apparently a town of the Cornavii in the W. part of Britannia Eo- mana. Camden (p. 651) identifies it with Roivion in Shropshire, Horsley (p.418) with Wern. [T. H. I).] EUTU'PIAE ('PouTciiTnai. Ptol. ii. 3. § 27 ; in the Tab. Pent, and Not. Imp. Rutupac; in the Itin. Ant. Eitupae, also Porlus Rutupensis and Portns Ritupius: Adj. Rutupinus, Luc. Phars. vi. 67; Juv. iv. 141), a town of the Cantii on the E. coast of Britannia Prima, now Richboroiigh in Kent. Ru- tupiae and Portus Rutupensis were probably distinct, the former being the city, the latter its harbour at some little distance. The harbour was probably
