Proculus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus was a Roman statesman who served as Consul.

From his filiation, it appears likely that he was the son of Opiter Verginius Tricostus (consul 502 BC) and the brother of Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus (consul 479 BC), Opiter Verginius Tricostus Esquilinus (suffect consul 478 BC), and Aulus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus (consul 476 BC).

Consulship

In 486 BC Proculus and Spurius Cassius Viscellinus were elected Consul. Proculus marched against the Aequi and opposed the agrarian law of his colleague Vecellinus. Viscellinus was accused of trying to create support in the populace and allies to seek kingship. Upon retirement from office, Viscellinus was condemned and put to death.
