Secunda rude ablative singular feminine after insignis, "distinguished."
Lewis & Short s.v. rudis, "wooden practice-foil": SECVNDA RVDIS, the second fencer, the fencing-master's assistant, Inscr. Orell.  2573 sq.—A gladiator received such a rudis when honorably discharged (whence he was called rudiarius.)
