Atilicinus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atilicinus was a renowned jurist of ancient Rome, who probably lived about the middle of the first century CE.[1]

He seems to have been attached to the sect of Proculus, to whom he addressed a letter, which is contained in the Digest of Justinian I, in an extract from Proculus himself.[2][3] He is several times referred to in the Digest, and is also cited in the Institutes of Gaius as an authority on, among other things, bankruptcy law and concubinage and adultery law.[4][5][6][7]

However, there is no direct extract from him, and the names of his works have not been preserved, though the historian Johann August Bach [de] seems to infer from the Digest that he published responsa.[8][9][10][11]

Opinions of his are quoted by several later Roman jurists, such as Fufidius [hu] and Aufidius Chius.[12][13]
