Caesius Nasica

Caesius Nasica

Caesius Nasica was a Roman military officer.

He commanded Legio VIIII "Hispana" in Britain, and defeated the first revolt of Venutius of the Brigantes during the governorship of Aulus Didius Gallus (52 to 57). [Tacitus, "Annals" [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Tac.+Ann.+12.40 12:40] ]

He may have been the elder brother of Quintus Petillius Cerialis.
