Atilius Caiatinus (or Calatinus), Aulus, perhaps grandson of Q. *Fabius Maximus Rullianus, consul 258 and 254 bce, censor 247. He enjoyed mixed fortunes in Sicily in 258 but celebrated a triumph in 257/6, probably as praetor (T. C. Brennan, The Praetorship in the Roman Republic (2000), 80–3). *Polybius (1. 38. 6 ff.) credits the capture of *Panormus in 254 to both consuls but only Cn. Cornelius Scipio Asina was awarded a triumph. Atilius was the first dictator to take an army outside Italy—to Sicily in 249. He dedicated temples to *Spes in the forum Holitorium and *Fides on the Capitol. Cicero (Sen. 61, etc. ) preserves part of his epitaph.
