person
Pontius Titinianus
also: Pontius Titinianus
Son of Q. Titinius (adopted into the gens Pontia); he served in the Caesarian force besieging Pompey at Brundisium in 49 BC. Cicero, who also calls him 'Titinius's son,' excuses his conduct as done out of fear.
Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 9.6 §6 the son of Quintus Titinius is with Caesar
The son of the financier Q. Titinius (later called Pontius Titinianus) had attached himself to Caesar; Cicero cites him sourly as a sample of "what sort of people" now make up the winning side. Furnius, Caesar's envoy, brings the report along with Caesar's overly warm thanks to Cicero.
