As a Roman senator, he was consul in the year 52 as the colleague of Faustus Cornelius Sulla Felix,[1] and appointed consul as his brother's colleague for the period from Galba's murder to the end of February.
[2] When Otho left Rome to halt the advance of Vitellius into Italy, he put the daily imperial responsibilities in the hands of Titianus.
[3] Subsequently, Titianus was appointed generalissimo in charge of the war by Otho[4] and was present at the First Battle of Bedriacum.
[6] Titianus was married to Cocceia, sister of the future Emperor Nerva (reigned 96–98), with whom he had a son, Lucius Salvius Otho Cocceianus.
Cocceianus rose to become consul around 80, but was later executed under orders of Emperor Domitian, for having observed his uncle Otho's birthday.
