  • Titus Terrasidius was a Roman Knight of the Equestrian order and an officer of the cavalry in Julius Caesar's Legio VII Claudia. He and other officers of the legion were sent out to negotiate provisions for the winter of 56–55 BC; they were captured by Breton tribes who were then subjugated as Caesar describes in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico: The occasion of that war was this: Publius Crassus, a young man, had taken up his winter-quarters with the seventh legion among the , who border upon the Ocean. He, as there was a scarcity of corn in those parts, sent out some officers of cavalry [who would be equites], and several military tribunes [who would be of senatorial rank] among the neighbouring states, for the purpose of procuring corn and provision; in which number Titus Terrasidius was sent among the Esubii; among the Curiosolitae; , [and] , amongst the Veneti.

  • Tito Terrasidio (in latino T. Terrasidius; ... – ...) è stato un ufficiale romano, uno degli ufficiali dell'esercito di Gaio Giulio Cesare in Gallia che militava nella legione comandata da Publio Licinio Crasso tra il 57 e il 56 a.C.. Dopo la sottomissione dei popoli che vivevano nell'attuale Bretagna, Crasso acquartierò per l'inverno la settima legione nel paese degli Andi, che vivevano nei pressi dell'Oceano. Dato che in quella zona c'era poco frumento, Crasso inviò nelle città limitrofe molti prefetti e tribuni militari a cercar viveri, tra cui Tito Terrasidio presso gli Esuvi, Marco Trebio Gallo presso i Coriosoliti, Quinto Velanio e Tito Silio presso i Veneti. Su esempio di questi ultimi, che avevano preso in ostaggio Velanio e Silio pensando di poterli scambiare con gli ostaggi che avevano dato a Crasso, anche gli altri popoli sequestrarono Terrasidio e Trebio Gallo. Questi quattro ufficiali, di rango equestre, sono menzionati solo in quest'occasione. (it)
