		2nd-century Roman grammarian

Trosius Aper was a grammarian of ancient Rome who served as one of two Latin tutors for the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, along with Tuticius Proculus. He was from Pola (modern Pula) in Istria,[1] and was assigned to Aurelius as a tutor around 132 or 133 AD.[2] As a tutor, Aper would have Aurelius read classical works out loud, and memorize them, later commenting on stylistic matters, and drawing philosophical lessons from the text for his pupil.[2]

While it is known that Aper's colleague Tuticius Proculus was rewarded handsomely with a senatorship and consulship,[3] little is known about the life of Aper.[4]
