DUILLIUS NEPOS, C. a Roman consul, the first who obtained a victory over the naval power of Carthage in the year of Rome 492. He took fifty of the enemy's ships, and was honoured with a naval triumph, the first that ever appeared at Rome. The senate rewarded his valour by permitting him to have music playing and torches lighted at the public expence every day while he was at supper. There were some medals struck in commemoration of this victory; and there exists a column at Rome which was erected on the occasion.
