Asconius Pedianus Quintus Asconius Pedianus (c. 9 BC – c. AD 76) was a Roman historian.
Asconius Pedianus Both works were found by Poggio in a manuscript at St Gallen in 1416. This manuscript is lost, but three transcripts were made by Poggio, Zomini (Sozomenus) of Pistoia and Bartolommeo da Montepulciano. That of Poggio is now at Madrid ("Matritensis" X. 81), and that of Zomini is in the Forteguerri library at Pistoia (No. 37). A copy of Bartolommeo's transcript exists in Florence (Laur. 5). The later manuscripts are derived from Poggio's copy.

Asconii Pediani Orationvm Ciceronis qvinqve enarratio".
Pro Milone In the account of later writer and Ciceronian commentator Asconius, the actual defense failed to secure an acquittal for Milo for three reasons:
