Titus Peducaeus

Titus Peducaeus (fl. 1st century BC) was a Roman senator who was appointed suffect consul in 35 BC.

Biography

Peducaeus was a member of a late Republican senatorial family, but much of Peducaeus’ career is unclear. Confusion in the sources means that events in which a Peducaeus participated could be assigned to a number of individuals of the same gens. It is believed that Titus Peducaeus may possibly have been the Caesarean governor of Corsica et Sardinia in 48 BC; the primary source for this, Appian, gives him the praenomen "Sextus", but this has been questioned.[1]

By 40 BC, he was possibly a legate under Lucius Antonius in Hispania.[2] Then in 35 BC, he was appointed consul suffectus, replacing Lucius Cornificius.[3] Nothing further is known of his career.
