Gaius Laecanius Bassus (consul 40)
Gaius Laecanius Bassus was a senator and a politician of the Roman Empire, urban praetor in 32 AD[1] then consul suffectus in 40 AD.[2][3]
Originally from Pola or Fasana in Istria, where his family was settled since around 50 BC[4] Bassus owned an important pottery workshop. He had a son, Gaius Laecanius Bassus, a Roman senator and consul.[5] Bassus might have been the brother of a certain Laecania Bassa who was the first wife of Gaius Rubellius Blandus.[citation needed]
Based on an inscription, Attilio Degrassi made the assumption that Bassus was still alive in 64 during the consulship of his son.[6]
