secuti

Secuti is a term that appears in limited contexts and does not denote a single, widely recognized subject in standard reference works. In Latin, 'secuti' is a form of the participle 'secutus' meaning 'having followed' and can function as a noun meaning 'the followers' in inscriptions or textual fragments; as a stand-alone proper name, it is uncommon in classical sources.

In the context of ancient Rome’s gladiator tradition, the most well-known pursuers were the 'secutores' (plural), who fought against other classes such as the retiarius. Some modern writers or popular reconstructions may encounter variants or informal renderings of the term as 'Secuti,' but this is not the standard Latin form used in primary texts.

In contemporary culture, 'Secuti' has occasionally been adopted as a fictional name for a secretive guild, order, or faction in novels, video games, and other media. The specifics—such as its aims, members, and methods—vary by work, and there is no canonical definition across works.

As a surname or toponym, 'Secuti' may occur in modern contexts but is not widely attested in major genealogical or geographic sources.
