Titus Aufidius (physician)

Titus Aufidius was a physician of ancient Rome, of the Aufidia gens. He was a native of Sicily and a pupil of Greek physician Asclepiades of Bithynia, and therefore lived in the first century BCE.[1]

He is probably the same person who is quoted by Caelius Aurelianus by the name of "Titus" only, and who wrote a work called On the Soul and another On Chronic Diseases, consisting of at least two books.[2][3]
