Sextus Caecilius Africanus
Sextus Caecilius Africanus (death towards 169/175), Jurisconsult of the ancient Rome, raises Salvius Julianus (Julien).
There remains only one quotation of its Epistulae , of which there were at least twenty books. Extracts of its Quaestiones , legal cases collected in nine books without particular order, are them also reproduced in Digestes. The Quaestiones were most probably intended for the teaching of the right. They also seem to be in close connection with the work of Julien, who is often quoted there; it is supposed that it is Julien who sliced the majority of these cases. Nevertheless, Caecilius expresses sometimes its own opinion on Julien, including in a critical way.
Aulu-Cold, the Nights attics , delivers 20, ch. 1, puts in scene Sextus Caecilius taking the defense of the Laws of the XII Tables against Favorinus.
Certain sources plan that there would be another Roman lawyer of the name of Sextus Caecilius, not to confuse with Africanus.
