Gnaeus Octavius Titinius Capito

A member of the Titinia gens, he served successfully in the army, later becoming secretary ab epistulis under the Emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan.

[2][3] He ended his career of civil servant becoming Praefectus vigilum.

[2] We are left with a letter addressed by him to Pliny, where he advised his friend to devote himself to history, and with the answer of Pliny.

[2][4] He also wrote about the deaths of famous men,[3] and was a supporter of literates.

[2] Moreover, he honored republican heroes by keeping in his house statues of Cato Uticensis, Brutus, and Cassius[2][3] bearing elogia written by himself.
