Asconius Pedianus

Quintus Asconius Pedianus (c. 9 BC, Padua, † 76 AD) was a commentator of classical texts and grammarian.

Preserved are his comments on the following speeches Marcus Tullius Cicero: in L. Calpurnium Pisonem, ( "Against Lucius Calpurnius Piso ") per Aemilio Scauro ( " Aemilius Scaurus For " ), per T. Annio Milone ( " Titus Annius Milo For " ) per Cornelio de maiestate, in toga candida. Interesting are the comments on the latter two speeches from the years 65 and 64 BC, as the speeches themselves are not preserved. Further comments are lost or spurious.

Suetonius used Asconius Pedianus for his De viris illustribus.
