Gaius Ummidius Actius Anicetus was a Roman pantomime actor who lived in Pompeii.[1][2]

Actius is attested in an inscription from Puteoli that identifies him as a pantomime actor.[3] The possibility has been raised that Actius may be the freedman (libertus) of Ummidia Quadratilla who is discussed in the letters of Pliny the Younger.[4][5] Various graffiti found at Pompeii record praise for Actius.[6] These include:

  • "Actius, master of stage performers." from tomb 4 in the Fondo Pacifico near the amphitheater of Pompeii[7]
  • "Actius, greetings." from the large theater at Pompeii[8]
  • a possible mention of Actius from Herculaneum: "Lucius Actius, hail. Mysticus, the musician, of the comedian Icuus ... we were for you."[9]

An actor named Actius also appears in Unit 1, Stage 5 of the Cambridge Latin Course.[10]
