Tigris

Tigris is Jonathan's dog, the brother of Nipur (Nubia's dog)

Titia

Titia is Porcius' sister. She is about fifteen and is cross-eyed - a flaw which means she will probably never get a husband. Porcius tells Flavia that she is in love with Aristo.But in the end marry's Silvanus, who helped them in the colossus of Rhodes because Porcius gets kidnapped and he was in love with Titia.

Tranquillus

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus is briefly Flavia's betrothed in The Sirens of Surrentum. He is a cheery boy who likes to laugh, though he seems snobbish at first. The betrothal is canceled by his father just when he and Flavia have started to get on with each other and it seems the marriage could have worked. He is quite a cheeky boy, as is shown when he tries to persuade Lupus and Jonathan to take a boat out and spy on naked women (Flavia, Nubia, Pulchra and the other female house guests in The Sirens of Surrentum) as it is "suspicious". Lupus agrees quickly, but Jonathan refuses, saying, "You just want to spy on naked women". The plan fails as their boat gets caught on the rocks. He also appears in The Man from Pomegrate street. He tells Flavia that they should be together again and when he kisses her, she kisses him back.
