Lupus, Rutilius

The author of an extant rhetorical treatise in two books, entitled De Figuris Sententiarum et Elocutionis. He appears to have lived in the time of Nero. His work is chiefly valuable for well-translated extracts from Greek orations now lost. It is probably an abridged translation of one of the rhetorical works of Gorgias, but in its present shape is incomplete. It is printed in the Rhetores Latini Minores of C. Halm, pp. 3-21 (Leipzig, 1863), and has been edited with explanatory notes by Jacob (Lübeck, 1837) and Draheim (Berlin, 1874). See C. Schmidt, De Rutilio Lupo (Breslau, 1865).
