- Titus o Tit (en llatí Titus) va ser un usurpador del tron imperial romà. Ocupava el número 32 de la llista dels Trenta Tirans que Trebel·li Pol·lió menciona a l'obra Historia Augusta. Es diu que va mantenir les seves pretensions al tron durant unes quantes setmanes en el regnat de Maximí el Traci (235-238) i que finalment va ser assassinat pels mateixos soldats que l'havien obligat a acceptar la seva proclamació com a emperador. Juli Capitolí diu que el seu nom era Tycus. Herodià el menciona com a Quartinus, que també va existir, però podien ser persones diferents. Titus era tribú militar dels contingents magrebins i va ser deposat per Maximí el Traci i traslladat a una destinació civil. Després que la revolta de Magne contra Maximí, va ser proclamat emperador pels soldats i va acceptar, ja que si no ho feia temia per la seva vida. Va governar uns sis mesos però finalment Maximí el va derrotar i el va matar. Estava casat amb Calpúrnia Cesònia, que havia estat sacerdotessa, i de la que es conserva una estàtua. (ca)
- Titus is one of the Thirty Tyrants, a list of Roman usurpers compiled by the author(s) of the often unreliable Historia Augusta. Titus was said to have revolted against Maximinus Thrax, a Roman Emperor who ruled 235–238, after the revolt of Magnus. It is now believed that his biography is fictitious, and that he may be based on person named Quartinus mentioned by the historian Herodian. According to the Historia Augusta, Titus was a tribune of the Moors, who had been deposed by Maximinus and transferred to a civilian position. After the revolt of Magnus had been crushed, Titus, fearing for his life, reluctantly seized the power, having the purple compelled on him by his soldiers. He ruled for six months, and the Historia stated he deserved praises both home and abroad, but in the end Maximinus suppressed the revolt and killed Titus. Also noteworthy is Titus's equally fictitious wife, Calpurnia of the gens Caesonia, and who it was claimed had been a priestess, whose statue, in marble and golden bronze, was located in the Temple of Venus. She reportedly owned the pearls that had belonged to Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and a famous one hundred-pound silver platter, with the histories of her noteworthy family - the implication being that she was a descendant of Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, the Roman consul of 148 BC, and a distant relation of Calpurnia, the wife of Julius Caesar. This link is further developed in two ways; firstly, her statue is described as being placed in the Temple of Venus Genetrix, where Caesar had once placed a statue of Cleopatra. Secondly, her possession of Cleopatra's pearls also reinforces her role as a female figure representing traditional Romanitas, compared against the previous owner who was traditionally represented as everything that was contrary to Roman values. Her possession of Cleopatra's pearls is also fictitious, as Pliny the Elder recounts that one of Cleopatra's pearls was dissolved in vinegar and drunk by Cleopatra in front of Marc Antony, while the other was made into earrings for the statue of Venus that stood in the Temple of Venus Genetrix. There is no evidence that the family of the Pisones still existed in the third century, and this Calpurnia is most likely an invention of the author's, due to his desire to pepper his work with great names.

- Tito o Quartino (latino: Titus o Quartinus; ... – ...; fl. III secolo) è stato un usurpatore del titolo di imperatore romano contro Massimino il Trace (235-238). Tito è il ventinovesimo dei Trenta Tiranni elencati nella Historia Augusta, ma è anche citato da Erodiano. Fu tribuno dei Mori, ma fu deposto da Massimino e trasferito a un incarico civile. Dopo che la rivolta di Magno fu debellata, Tito temette per la propria vita, e prese il potere con riluttanza, venendo obbligato ad accettare il trono dai propri soldati. Governò per sei mesi, e la Historia afferma che meritò lodi sia in patria che all'estero, ma alla fine Massimino soppresse la rivolta, uccidendo Tito. Un fatto notevole riportato riguarda la moglie di Tito, Calpurnia dei , che era stata una sacerdotessa la cui statua, in marmo e bronzo dorato, era collocata nel Tempio di Venere. Si diceva che possedesse le perle appartenute a Cleopatra, e un piatto di argento da trentacinque chili, con istoriate le vicende della sua importante famiglia. (it)
