T. Cari'sius
defeated the Astures in Spain, and took their chief town, Lancia, about B. C. 25; but in consequence of the cruelty and insolence of Carisius, the Astures took up arms again in B. C. 22. (Florus, 4.12.55, &c.; Oros. 6.21; D. C. 53.25, 54.5.)
There are several coins bearing the name of Carisius upon them, two specimens of which are given below.
The former has on the obverse the head of a woman, and on the reverse a sphinx, with the inscription T. CARISIVS III. VIR: the latter has on the obverse the head of Augustus, with the inscription IMP. CAESAR AVGVST., and on the reverse the gate of a city, over which is inscribed IMIRITA, and around it the words P. CARISIVS LEG. PROPR. There is nothing in the former coin except the praenomen Titus to identify it with the subject of this article; but the latter one would appear to have been struck by the conqueror of the Astures, and perhaps Dio Cassius has made a mistake in calling him Titus.
The word IMIRITA, which is also written

I'ccius
3. A friend of Horace, who addressed to him an ode (Carm. 1.29), and an epistle (Ep. 1.12).
The ode was written in B. C. 25, when Iccius was preparing to join Aelius Gallus [GALLUS, AELIUS] in his expedition to Arabia, and in it Horace dissuades Iccius from quitting security and philosophy for doubtful gains and certain hardships.
The epistle was composed about ten years afterwards, when Iccius had become Vipsanius Agrippa's steward in Sicily, and had resumed his philosophical studies, without, however, acquiring the art of content.
In both poems Horace reprehends pointedly, but delicately, in Iccius an inordinate desire for wealth.
The immediate occasion of the epistle was to introduce Pompeius Grosphus [GROSPHUS] to Iccius. Iccius has been defended from the imputation of avarice by Jacobs (Rhein. Mus. 2.1, Verm. Sch. v. p. 1-30). [W.B.D]
