NASIDIA, a family whose name comes forward late, and whose rank is plebeian. Some silver coins, however, bearing the name of this family, are by Sextus Pompey; and the following is both rare and interesting:--
NEPTVNI. The head of Pompey the Great, in front of which is a trident.
Rev.--Q. NASIDIVS. A ship with sails spread.
--This Nasidius was the praefect (or admiral) of Sextus Pompey's fleet in Sicily, and afterwards served in the same capacity under the appointment of Mark Antony --See NEPTVNI.
