Oppius
14. M. Oppius Capito, occurs on the coins of M. Antonius, struck about B. C. 40, as proprietor and praefectus classis. (Eckhel, vol. v. p. 264.) He may be the same as the Oppius Capito, a mnan of praetorian rank, of whom Pliny (Plin. Nat. 7.13. s. 15) relates that he had a scirrhus in his stormach.
