Publius Ventidius Bassus

Roman general
Years: 100BCE - 30BCE

Publius Ventidius Bassus, or in full, Publius Ventidius Publii filius Bassus, "Publius Ventidius, Publius's son, Bassus" is a Roman general and one of Julius Caesar's protégés.

He wins impressive victories against the Parthians which result in the deaths of key leaders - victories which redeem the losses of Crassus and pave the way for Antony's incursions.
