Titus Pomponius Bassus was a Roman senator who held a number of imperial appointments.

[1] He enters history as the legatus or assistant of the proconsular governor of Asia Marcus Ulpius Traianus in 79/80.

[2] Although being a proconsular legate was a posting which could result in a number of influential contacts, fifteen years passed until Bassus acceded to the consulate.

[4] Upon returning to Rome, he was appointed curator of the alimenta, a program that provided public funds to raise children in need, in Central Italy,[5] and was elected by the council of Ferentinum to be patron of that city.

Pliny wrote Bassus a letter congratulating his retirement from the Senate, looking forward to a life of leisure and self-education after a career holding "highly distinguished magistracies" and having "commanded armies".
