Caspe'riusa centurion who served under the prefect Caelius Pollio, and commanded the garrison of a
stronghold called Gorneae in A. D. 52, during a war between the
Armenians and Hiberians. Caelius Pollio acted the part of a traitor towards the Armenians, but
found an honest opponent in Casperius, who endeavoured, though in vain, to induce the
Hiberians to raise the siege. In A. D. 62 we find him still serving as
centurion in Armenia, and Corbulo sent him as ambassador to Vologeses to expostulate with him
respecting his conduct. (Tac. Ann. 12.45, 15.5.)
