Otacilius
2. Otacil.IUS Crassus, one of Pompey's officers, had the command of the town of Lissils in Jllyria, and cruelly butchered 220 of Caesar's soldiers, who had surrendered to him on the promise that they should be uninjured. Shortly after this he abandoned Lissus, and joined the main body of the Pompeian army. (Caes. Civ. 3.28, 29.)
