Titus Otacilius Crassus (praetor 217 BC)

Titus Octacilius Crassus was a Roman Praetor in 217 BC. He was of the gens Otacilius. He was in charge of a fleet in Lilybaeum, which he used to raid Africa in 215 and 212. In 214 he stood to obtain the consulship but had his consulship stolen from him by Fabius Maximus. Instead he received a second praetorship. He may have been a pontif or augur. He would also be the governor of Sicillia.[1] He commanded the Lilybauem fleet from 213 to 211, the year of his death.[2]
