Sextus Aelius Paetus Catus, also recorded as Sextus Aelius Q.f. Paetus Catus, meaning the clever one, flourished from 198 to 194 BC and was a Roman Republican consul elected in 198 BC. He is best known today for his interpretation of the laws of the Twelve Tables, known to us only through the praise later given it by Cicero. He came from a prominent plebeian noble family, the son of a praetor and the younger brother of another consul, Publius Aelius Paetus.
