Sittius

or Sitius, Publius. A native of Nuceria in Campania, who was connected with Catiline, and went to Spain in B.C. 64, from which country he crossed over into Mauretania in the following year. He joined Caesar when the latter came to Africa, in 46, to prosecute the war against the Pompeian party. He was of great service to Caesar in this war, and at its conclusion was rewarded by him with the western part of Numidia, where he settled, distributing the land among his soldiers. After the death of Caesar, Arabio, the son of Masinissa, returned to Africa, and killed Sittius by stratagem (Sall. Cat. 21; Bell. Afr. 25, 93-96; B. C. iv. 54).
