a frater of the P. Curtius who was put to death in Spain, in B. C. 45, by order of Cn. Pompeius, the son of Magnus. [CURTIUS, No. 4.] (Cic. ad Fam. 6.18). He is probably the same person as the Vettius Salassus, who was proscribed by the triumvirs in B. C. 43, and threw himself headlong from the roof of a house, when he saw his own wife conducting the assassins to him. (Appian, App. BC 4.24; V. Max. 9.11.7.)
