Sextus Caecilius Africanus died around 169 to 175 AD and was an ancient Roman jurist and a pupil of Salvius Julianus. Only one quotation survives from his Epistulae, a work of at least twenty books, but excerpts from his Quaestiones, a nine book collection of legal cases likely intended for legal education, are preserved in the Digest. The Quaestiones are closely connected to the work of Julianus, who is frequently cited in them and is thought to have decided most of the cases they discuss, though Africanus at times expressed his own opinion of Julianus, including critically.
